Judge hits 50th, Ohtani also goes deep as Angels edge Yanks
The top two candidates for AL MVP both delivered before a sellout crowd that included plenty of Yankees fans.

Angels: RHP Michael Lorenzen (right shoulder strain) said he feels 100% after a 70-pitch rehab start but might have another one. Angels: RHP Mike Mayers (1-1, 4.46) tossed five scoreless innings in his last start at Tampa Bay.
