Chase Silseth struck out a career-high 10 hitters to become the latest pitcher to shut down the struggling New York Yankees as the Los Angeles Angels completed a three-game sweep with a 7-3 victory on Wednesday in Anaheim, Calif.

Silseth (2-1) pitched 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball.

Taylor Ward and Luis Rengifo hit two-run homers off Carlos Rodon as the Angels raced out to a 4-0 lead through the opening two innings. Mickey Moniak added an RBI single and Eduardo Escobar hit a run-scoring groundout to help the Angels complete their first sweep of the Yankees since July 10-12, 2009.

Ward added an RBI double while Shohei Ohtani drew four of the Angels' 11 walks.

Giancarlo Stanton and Franchy Cordero homered and Kyle Higashioka hit an RBI single for the Yankees, who scored their first two runs in the sixth and lost for fourth game in a row and the ninth time in 11 games. Cordero had three hits.

Silseth, recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake before the game, allowed four hits in his ninth career start and first appearance for the Angels since June 2. He walked two and threw 85 pitches, capping a series in which Los Angeles starters posted a 1.93 ERA after entering with a 4.70 mark.

Rodon, in his third start as a Yankee, was tagged for six runs and four hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out three and walked five while often falling behind hitters.

After Rodon (0-3) walked Ohtani with one out in the first inning, the Angels went ahead when Ward drove a 1-2 curveball into the left field seats for his 11th homer. Rodon opened the second by walking Hunter Renfroe, and Rengifo hit a 1-1 pitch to left for his seventh homer.

Ohtani and Ward opened the third with walks, and Moniak followed with an RBI single to right. Escobar hit a grounder to third and Ward scored for a 6-0 lead.

Silseth struck out three in the first around a single to Gleyber Torres, stranded two in the third and struck out the side in the fourth. He stranded Higashioka in the fifth and fanned DJ LeMahieu and Anthony Volpe after Stanton homered to right to start the sixth.

Jose Soriano allowed Higashioka's RBI hit before getting a called third strike on Oswald Peraza with the bases loaded to end the sixth. Jacob Webb pitched a scoreless seventh, Matt Moore got three strikeouts after Cordero homered in the eighth, and Aaron Loup finished it off with a perfect ninth.
