Mike Trout scored the tiebreaking run on an eighth-inning error by Anthony Volpe as the visiting Los Angeles Angels handed the reeling New York Yankees a 3-2 loss.

Nolan Schanuel and Jo Adell homered for the Angels, who have won the first three games of the four-game series and will pursue the franchise's first four-game road sweep of the Yankees on Thursday afternoon.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered in the second inning to snap New York's 30-inning scoreless streak. Cody Bellinger went deep in the fourth for the Yankees, who have scored just six runs during a six-game losing streak -- their longest skid since a nine-game run from Aug. 12-22, 2023.

Bellinger's homer gave the Yankees their first lead since last they beat the Kansas City Royals 1-0 on June 12.

The Angels scored the go-ahead run in the eighth without collecting a base hit against Fernando Cruz (1-3) and Tim Hill.

Cruz walked three of the four batters he faced in the inning before Hill got Adell to hit a potential double-play grounder to shortstop. However, Volpe bobbled the ball as it hopped into his glove and then threw wide of second baseman Oswald Peraza while Trout trotted home.

The small-ball rally made a winner of Hector Neris (3-1), the third of six Angels pitchers. Neris got the final two outs of the seventh, and Ryan Zeferjahn and Connor Brogdon combined on a hitless eighth.

Kenley Jansen earned his 15th save in the ninth, when Paul Goldschmidt reached on an error by third baseman Luis Rengifo before the Angels closer retired the next three batters.

Los Angeles starter Jack Kochanowicz gave up two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out a career-high eight over 5 1/3 innings.

Yankees starter Ryan Yarbrough allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three over 5 1/3 innings.
