[June 08, 2015]  June 7 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Sunday's Major League Baseball games.

Yankees 6, Angels 2

Left-hander CC Sabathia pitched six innings before being ejected for arguing balls and strikes as the New York Yankees stretched their season-high winning streak to six games.

Sabathia (3-7), who allowed two runs and five hits, boiled over after getting Kole Calhoun on an inning-ending double play.

He disagreed with plate umpire Dan Bellino's call on the previous pitch and walked off the mound gesturing toward Bellino, prompting the ejection.

Chris Young, Brett Gardner and Jose Pireia homered for the Yankees (32-25) while the Angels (28-29) got homers from Mike Trout and Albert Pujols.
