NEW YORK — The Yankees’ hitters played catch up with Jordan Montgomery on Tuesday night. After leaving the lefty hanging with minuscule run support, they owed him and seemingly paid up all his runs for May in his last start of the month. His catcher, Jose Trevino, led the way with three hits, including his third home run of the season, in a 9-1 win over the Angels at Yankee Stadium.
Ex-Mets starter Noah Syndergaard was roughed up in his return to New York, but Montgomery held up his end with a season- and career-high-tying seven efficient innings, holding the Angels’ dangerous duo of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani off the board.
That snapped a two-game losing streak for the Yankees (34-15), who have lost back-to-back games only three times this season and have lost three straight only once.
