NEW YORK (AP) — Jo Adell hit a bases-clearing double with two outs in a six-run fifth inning, Tyler Anderson retired Aaron Judge three times in six strong innings pitched and the Los Angeles Angels withstood rainy conditions for a 9-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Thursday night.

With the rain varying in intensity, Anderson (9-10) allowed one run and three hits for his first win since July 6. The veteran left-hander struck out Judge swinging in the first, got a called third strike on the slugger in the third and retired him on a groundout in the sixth.

“He doesn’t throw with velocity but he reads bats well and he was able to get into an area where Judge couldn’t get to it,” Angels manager Ron Washington said.

“Obviously he’s a great hitter,” Anderson said. “You don’t want to make a lot of mistakes to him, so just try to make good pitches, execute pitches and it worked out tonight."

Nolan Schanuel hit a leadoff homer and had an RBI single off Nestor Cortes (5-10) before the Angels put together a six-run inning for the second straight game.

Kevin Pillar hit a two-strike, two-run single before an Anthony Rendon walk and Adell’s bases-clearing double. Mickey Moniak capped the inning with an RBI single as the Angels outscored the Yankees 17-6 and totaled 27 hits in the last two games of the series. Zach Neto followed up his six-RBI showing on Wednesday with a late run-scoring single.

The Angels won a series in the Bronx for the first time since 2017 and had consecutive games with six-run innings for the first time since Sept. 27-28, 2016.

“They just went out and played," Washington said of his young players. “I wish the weather would have been nicer so they could have really found out what Yankee Stadium is like, but the conditions we couldn’t do anything about. I’m so proud of the way they handled themselves.”

Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit his first homer in the Bronx after hitting four in his first five games with the club following his acquisition from the Marlins. Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton hit RBI singles in the eighth as the Yankees fell to 3-3 in a stretch of 15 straight games against opponents with a winning percentage below .500.

Oswaldo Cabrera homered in the ninth after replacing Anthony Volpe, who exited due to a bruised left foot.

Schanuel lifted Cortes’ fourth pitch into the right-center field seats for the third leadoff homer of his career. After Chisholm Jr. tied it in the second, Schanuel singled to right before the Angels sent 10 men to the plate, saw 55 pitches and got three two-strike hits in the fifth.

The right-handed hitting Pillar gave the Angels a 4-1 lead by reaching out over the other side of the plate for a single to right field. Adell followed with a two-strike double that caromed off Soto’s glove after the right fielder briefly hesitated before attempting to make a diving catch.

“Once I hit it, I saw him freeze for a good period of time and I knew it was a chance it was going to fall in front of him,” Adell said. “So I was going to be aggressive with it.”

Cortes allowed six runs and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings. He was lifted after Pillar’s single and fell to 1-5 in his last eight starts.

“They did a good job of putting the ball in play,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “They didn’t sting the ball a ton against him, but especially with two strikes they were able to touch and put it in play.”

WEB GEM

Moniak made a leaping catch near the 385-foot sign in front of the New York bullpen in right-center to rob Soto of a homer in the sixth. Moniak was playing in medium range center field, raced back and stuck his glove over the fence.

“That was awesome,” Anderson said. “That was a great play. He’s been making great plays all year.”

DROPPED

Yankees LF Alex Verdugo batted ninth, making the first time in his career he started a game in that spot.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Yankees: Volpe (left foot bruise) was lifted after the seventh and X-rays were negative. Volpe fouled a ball off his foot in the second and took two more at-bats. INF Jon Berti (calf) ran in the outfield and fielded ground balls at third base. … C Jose Trevino (triceps) did some running and could start a rehab assignment on Monday or Tuesday. … RHP Ian Hamilton (lat) felt fine after his bullpen session on Tuesday and will throw another on Friday.

UP NEXT:

Angels: RHP José Soriano (6-7, 4.07 ERA) opposes LHP Mitchell Parker (6-6, 4.06) in the opener of a three-game series at Washington on Friday.

Yankees: LHP Carlos Rodón (12-7, 4.37) opposes Texas LHP Cody Bradford (3-0, 3.96) in the opener of a three-game series Friday, though heavy rain is forecasted for New York.

A U.S. Border Patrol agent who was killed in Vermont during a traffic stop near the Canadian border was a military veteran who worked security duty at the Pentagon during the time of the Sept. 11 attacks, his family said.

“He was a devoted agent who served with honor and bravery,” a family statement provided to The Associated Press late Tuesday said. “He had a tremendous respect and pride for the work he did; he truly embodied service over self.”

Agent David Maland, 44, was killed Monday afternoon following a traffic stop, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesperson said in a statement. A German national in the country on what the FBI called a current visa was killed and an injured suspect was taken into custody and is being treated at a local hospital.

The violence temporarily closed part of Interstate 91 about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from Canada in Coventry, part of the small, 27,000-resident community of Orleans County in the Northeast Kingdom section of Vermont that straddles the international border.

Maland, whom the FBI confirmed was a U.S. Air Force veteran, was killed close to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Newport Station, part of the Swanton Sector that he was assigned to. The sector encompasses Vermont, parts of New York and New Hampshire, and includes 295 miles (475 kilometers) of international boundary with Canada.

The Derby Line–Rock Island Border Crossing is located about 12 miles (19 kilometers) by highway north of Coventry. It’s a major link to the Canadian province of Quebec, giving northern Vermont more French speakers than most of New England.

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s thoughts and prayers are with Agent Maland’s family during this difficult time,” the agency said in a statement. The death is a tragedy, said Gov. Phil Scott and state Sen. Russ Ingalls, a Republican who represents the area.

Maland's family said his career spanned nine years in the military and 15 in the federal government.

“While working in Washington, D.C., he was active security in the Pentagon during 9/11,” their statement said.

The family later said Wednesday that Maland's duty station was the Pentagon and that when news of the attacks broke, he was sent to guard an undersecretary to one of the branches of the military for several days at a bunker at the Joint Base-Anacostia Bolling, in southeast Washington.

Maland also was a K-9 handler. Before heading to the northern border, he served in Texas, near the border with Mexico.

The Minnesota native who family members called by his middle name, Chris, was about to propose marriage to his partner, said an aunt, Joan Maland.

“We are all devastated,” she told AP in a text. She called him an “exceptional person. Incredible man.”

David Maland was the first Border Patrol agent to be killed in the line of duty since Javier Vega Jr. was shot and killed near Santa Monica, Texas, in 2014, according to records provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Vega was initially considered to be off duty at the time of his death, but in 2016 it was re-determined to have been in the line of duty, the agency said.

In 2010, Brian Terry ’s killing exposed the botched federal gun operation known as “Fast and Furious.” Border Patrol Agent Nicholas J. Ivie, of the Brian A. Terry Border Patrol Station, was mortally wounded in the line of duty in a remote area near Bisbee, Arizona, in 2012. Border Patrol Agent Isaac Morales was fatally stabbed while off duty in 2017 in Texas.
