Cano, Granderson lead Yankees over Angels 6-2

Cano hits 2 homers, Granderson triples twice in Yankees' 6-2 win over Angels

Curtis Granderson hit two triples and threw Hideki Matsui out at the plate and Robinson Cano homered twice, leading the New York Yankees over the Los Angeles Angels 6-2 Thursday night.

Derek Jeter homered and had an RBI double for the Yankees. The World Series champions have opened the season by winning a series against three potent rivals — Boston, Tampa Bay and the Angels.

Phil Hughes (1-0) labored through five-plus innings in his first start since winning the No. 5 starter job from Joba Chamberlain this spring as the Yankees dropped the Angels to 3-7, their worst start since 2002.
