\"Jack<\/p>\n

Jack Kochanowicz mowed through his first three innings against the Yankees on Monday night.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-7 sinkerballer was doing all of what manager Ron Washington asked of him before the game: pitch to contact and let his defense do the work.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust be Jack,\u201d Washington said. \u2018Throw his sinker, change, eye-level, put the ball in play early \u2014 which is when he\u2019s at his best. That\u2019s what he does. So that\u2019s all. I\u2019m not looking for him to be nothing more than that, and if he\u2019s that, it\u2019ll be good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nine up, and nine down on 28 pitches \u2014 Kochanowicz looked \u201cgood enough.\u201d He was hurling just as efficiently as he did against the Dodgers on May 16 when he limited the Angels\u2019 crosstown foes to just one run across 6 \u2154 innings. As he jaunted to the mound for the fourth, the crowd woke up, rising in volume; but not for Kochanowicz.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s go, Yankees,\u201d the fans in the right-field seats of Angel Stadium bellowed, much like the \u201cBleacher Creatures\u201d would back in the Bronx. First baseman Ben Rice singled, and then center fielder Trent Grisham did too. Following a rousing ovation, designated hitter Aaron Judge \u2014 who upped his batting average to a league-high .398 \u2014 loaded the bases on an infield single.<\/p>\n

As Yankees fans roared louder, Kochanowicz hiccuped. The sophomore starting pitcher walked Cody Bellinger on four pitches to bring in a run, and two batters later, Anthony Volpe hit a bases-clearing double off the center-field wall to power the Yankees (33-20) to a three-run lead. It was more than enough to take down the Angels (25-28), who struggled to string together hits for the third consecutive game in a 5-1 loss to open the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlways just comes down to pitch calling,\u201d Kochanowicz said. \u201cIt\u2019s very easy to ask yourself a million questions about every pitch you throw, but I think I just \u2014 I came at them hard that inning. I didn\u2019t start anyone off with the breaking ball. So that was probably it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shortstop Zach Neto led off the bottom of the first with a 440-foot solo home run to center field \u2014 the longest of his career \u2014 but it was all the Angels had to offer at the plate. Before the game, Washington called his offense young and inconsistent.<\/p>\n

The Angels offered more of those characteristics against the Yankees and left-hander Ryan Yarbrough.<\/p>\n

\"Jack <\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Outside of a fluke infield single from Jo Adell, Neto\u2019s home run was all the Angels mustered against the funky, sidearm delivery of the New York southpaw through six innings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way we were swinging the bat, I did think that we would have at least three or four guys in that line of constantly clicking,\u201d Washington said after the Angels were limited to five hits. \u201cMiami come up in here and put us away, and then now we fight to try to find it back again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yarbrough easily dispatched Chris Taylor \u2014 who started in center field and went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts in his Angels debut \u2014 for a flyout and second baseman Kevin Newman for a strikeout to end the fifth.<\/p>\n

\u201cYarbrough did a good job,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cShut us down for the most part.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sixth inning was no better as the top of the Angels\u2019 lineup went down 1-2-3 and Yarbrough exited with his longest and arguably best start of the season, striking out seven. The Angels struck out 11 times in the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cSustaining that offense that we had,\u201d Washington said when asked before the game about matching the offensive rhythm of the Angels\u2019 eight-game winning streak, \u201cit\u2019s impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside of his four-run, fourth inning, Kochanowicz was in the \u201cmidseason form\u201d he described himself in on Sunday. The right-hander pumped his fastball as high as 97.3 mph and averaged 95 on his sinker, both a tick below his season averages. Four of his 6 \u2154 innings concluded in 1-2-3 fashion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he was good, really,\u201d Washington said. \u201cThose first three innings, he was dominating. \u2026 If we could just take [the fourth inning] back it\u2019d be a different ballgame.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kochanowicz struck out five and walked two, giving up just five hits. But the Angels\u2019 offense didn\u2019t back up their pitchers, sending them to a three-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> Angels catcher Logan O\u2019Hoppe was removed from the game in the eighth inning after being hit in the head on a backswing from Yankees second baseman Jorbit Vivas. O\u2019Hoppe was removed as a precaution, Washington said, and was unavailable for comment after the game. \u201c[O\u2019Hoppe is] telling me he can play [tomorrow], but we\u2019re going to wait and see,\u201d Washington said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
