New York can't overcome Los Angeles and Joe Saunders in loss to talented left-hander.

It was an ugly effort for the Yankees last night, as the Angels whipped them 8-1 in front of 45,281 happy fans at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Mark Teixeira provided the offense, getting a pair of hits -- including a solo home run -- in 4 at-bats. Roy Oswalt started, but he only managed to work 3 innings, allowing 5 runs and 5 hits to take the loss, dropping him to 0-2 on the year.

The Yankees and Angels play game 2 today, with Andy Pettitte (2-0, 5.40) and Scott Kazmir (3-0, 3.54) the probable starters. Erick Aybar looks to build on his 16-game hitting streak.
