Brandon Wood's solo home run in the 2nd inning off of Yankee starter AJ Burnett would prove to be all the offense the Angels would need to win. The 1-0 win was the Angels first win over New York in 6 tries, and helped them avoid a sweep at home to the Yanks. Wood who just came off the DL after spraining his knee in the first game of the season picked the perfect time to hit his first home run of the season.

Ervin Santana a noted Yankee killer was brilliant in the win. Santana pitched 7 1/3 shutout innings in earning his 2nd win of the season. Brian Fuentes earned his 6th save of the season by pitching a perfect ninth inning.

The Angels next host the Cleveland Indians (10-8) for a 3 game set. Jered Weaver (3-0, 1.57) will face Anthony Reyes (1-0, 5.17) in tomorrow nights series opener.
