ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) – Garret Anderson drove in a team-record 10 runs, including a grand slam and a three-run homer, in the Los Angeles Angels’ 18-9 rout of the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.

Mr. Anderson became the 12th player in major league history to have 10 RBIs in a game. He was the first to reach double digits since the Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez also had 10 against the Angels on April 26, 2005.

Mr. Rodriguez hit a pair of solo shots Tuesday, with his 42nd of the season coming in the ninth inning off Marc Gwyn.

The major league record of 12 RBIs is shared by the St. Louis Cardinals’ Jim Bottomley (1924) and Mark Whiten (1993). The AL record of 11 was set by Tony Lazzeri of the Yankees on May 24, 1936.

Mr. Anderson had a chance to break the major league mark when he came up in the eighth inning with runners at the corners and two outs, but he grounded out to shortstop.

Kelvim Escobar (14-6) allowed five runs and five hits in six innings for the first-place Angels, who improved to 6-2 against New York this season and stayed two games ahead of Seattle in the AL West.

Los Angeles jumped out to a 7-1 lead against Mike Mussina, who lasted only 1 2-3 innings. Mr. Mussina (8-9) allowed seven hits and walked two in his shortest outing of the season.

The Yankees were surging for more than a month before visiting the Angels, a longtime nemesis. New York, which has lost the first two in a three-game series, fell six games behind first-place Boston in the AL East and 2½ back of Seattle in the wild-card race.<
