Pujols Leads Angels Past Yanks 2-0

Yankees starter Chad Green allowed only one run and five hits in six innings

Albert Pujols had three hits and scored twice on singles by Andrelton Simmons, leading the Los Angeles Angels over the New York Yankees 2-0 Sunday.

Jhoulys Chacin (4-8) allowed six hits over 5 2/3 innings, struck out four and walked one in his first scoreless start since April 12 for Atlanta. Deolis Guerra, JC Ramirez and Fernando Salas followed with hitless relief. Salas pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save.

After winning the first two games of the series, New York entered four games over .500 at 61-57 but for the fourth time failed to move five games over.

Chad Green (2-3) allowed one run and five hits in six innings, which matched his big league high. He struck out 11 in six scoreless innings against Toronto on Monday when he rejoined the rotation.
