While the Yankees came away with the win, not everyone was thrilled. Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke about his feelings after the game, per ESPN.
"Tough … for the belly," Boone said.
The Yankees took an early lead in the game, with a home run from Aaron Judge . Jose Caballero went deep in the second, leading to a 4-0 lead for the Yanks. The Angels would tie the game up in the fourth inning. In the fifth inning, Trent Grisham came in as a pinch hitter, hitting a three-run shot. In the sixth inning, Mike Trout joined the party, hitting his first dinger of the game to tie it up, but Judge hit his second dinger in the bottom of the inning.
Still, the Yankees would blow their lead with Trout's second home run, coming in the eighth inning, giving the Angels the lead. The Pinstripes would tie the game on a second Grisham home run in the bottom of the ninth, and New York would take the win on a walk-off wild pitch . Still, it was the blown lead that had Boone talking.

"You get a lead, then you get another lead, and then it's gone," he said. "For the guys, maybe it was good to have a game like that where it was a little messy."
It was the first time the Yankees had won a game when giving up ten or more runs since July 23, 2019, against the Minnesota Twins . First pitch for game two of the series is set for 7:05 pm E.T. on Tuesday.
