    Rafael Soriano relished the pressure: two on, two out in the ninth, protecting a one-run lead for the New York Yankees with surging Angels slugger Mark Trumbo at the plate.

    "I'll make a good pitch, he'll take a good swing and we'll see what happens," Soriano said.

    Trumbo's bat broke, Soriano roared off the mound in celebration and the Yankees escaped with a streak-snapping win.

    Curtis Granderson and Robinson Cano homered during New York's five-run third inning, Soriano retired Trumbo on a broken-bat fly out to end it, and the Yankees ended the Los Angeles Angels' eight-game roll with a 6-5 victory Wednesday night.
