back-to-back-to-back home runs <\/a>in the top of the first inning and then cruising from there as the Yankees fell 7-1 on a warm night in The Bronx.<\/p>\nAngels lefty Reid Detmers silenced the Yankees lineup that broke out for an 11-10 win Monday, putting it right back in the rut it found itself in entering the series opener. <\/p>\n
Facing a lineup that did not include Ben Rice, the major league leader in OPS who sat in favor of the right-handed hitting Paul Goldschmidt, Detmers allowed just four hits and one run across seven-plus innings, not letting a runner touch second base until the eighth inning.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought [Detmers] was good, but we know we got to do a better job of creating some things,\u201d manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cWe just got to get going.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, over half of the Angels lineup homered \u2014 all solo shots, but damaging nonetheless as Weathers surrendered a career-high four and reliever Yerry De los Santos gave up another late. The five homers matched the number the Yankees pitching staff had given up in their first 16 games combined.<\/p>\n
The poor pitching and poorer hitting handed the Yankees (9-8) a seventh loss in their last nine games as they will try again Wednesday to shake this early-season funk for good.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough for me when we win a game [Monday] night with good momentum, I come in and give up three in the first on three solo shots,\u201d Weathers said. \u201cThere was some good tonight, but when I pitch, I want this ballclub to win games and I did not put us in a good position to win a game tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Weathers came into the night having not allowed a home run through his first three starts (16 innings) this season. <\/p>\n
The left-hander had also not received a single run of support from his offense while he was still in any of those games.<\/p>\n
\u2028Only one of those things changed Tuesday, though, on a strange night in which the left-hander struck out 10 across five-plus innings but had four pitches end up in the seats.<\/p>\n
In a span of five pitches in the top of the first, Weathers gave up 1,276 feet worth of homers to Mike Trout, Jo Adell and Jorge Soler. <\/p>\n
They all came on low fastballs \u2014 Adell\u2019s was actually below the zone \u2014 and all came off the bat loudly as the Angels (9-9) stormed out to a quick 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re a really good low-ball hitting team, and three misfires against a good low-ball hitting team is not a good start,\u201d Weathers said.<\/p>\n
Weathers went on to retire 10 of the next 11 batters before former Yankee Oswald Peraza \u2014 as part of a 3-for-3 night in which he added a 12-pitch walk \u2014 crushed another solo shot in the fourth inning to make it 4-0.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see it all there [with Weathers],\u201d Boone said. \u201cYou see all the things that you get excited about. But a little bit tough just command-wise with the heater.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Weathers struck out the side in the fifth inning, he issued a leadoff walk in the sixth that ended his night. <\/p>\n
Paul Blackburn then entered and evoked some boo birds as he allowed four straight batters to reach base \u2014 on three singles and a walk \u2014 as the Angels padded their lead to 6-0.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you see how streaky this game is,\u201d Goldschmidt said. \u201cYou just got to take it in stride. When things are going good, you can\u2019t think you got it all figured out. When we\u2019re struggling, you can\u2019t get down on yourself. \u2026 We\u2019ve played a lot of close games.
