Ellsbury went 3-for-5 with his fifth home run of the season in Friday's win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

His lead-off long ball gave the Yankees a lead straight out of the gate, and that was ultimately all they would need, though they did tack on some insurance in the 7-0 win. Ellsbury drove in a pair in the win -- also hitting a run-scoring single in the third inning -- and the home run was his first since July 10. After a disappointing couple of months, the 32-year-old is hitting for a solid .286/.333./.397 line in August.
