*Palmer outpitches Sabathia, Angels beat Yankees* =================================================

By MIKE FITZPATRICK AP Baseball Writer

NEW YORK(AP) -- Matt Palmer outpitched CC Sabathia for his second major league win, and the Los Angeles Angels broke open a tight game in the late innings to beat the New York Yankees 8-4 on Saturday.

Kendry Morales homered and drove in two runs, Torii Hunter chased Sabathia with a two-run double in a four-run seventh and the Angels ended New York's four-game winning streak.

Palmer (2-0) pitched three-hit ball for 6 1-3 innings before Los Angeles' struggling bullpen closed it out. The right-hander, filling in for an Angels rotation decimated by injuries, retired 14 straight batters between Hideki Matsui's RBI single in the first and Derek Jeter's leadoff double in the sixth.
