Melky Cabrera spoiled Angels manager Mike Scioscia’s strategy, hitting a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning that led the New York Yankees over Los Angeles 7-4 on Thursday night for their third straight win.

With fog and drizzle blowing into the ballpark, further emptying the expensive seats lining the field, the Yankees stopped the Angels’ three-game win streak.

After an intentional walk to Nick Swisher loaded the bases with one out, Cabrera hit an RBI single on the first pitch from Justin Speier (0-1) for a 5-4 lead. Ramiro Pena followed with a two-run double for his first RBIs in the majors.
