New York ? When Derek Jeter arrived to play his first game of the year at Yankee Stadium, the marquee read “World Champion Angels.”

“I looked twice, and it looked funny,” he said.

In case Jeter forgot the beating Anaheim gave the New York Yankees last October, the Angels reminded him of it in his return from the disabled list.

Scott Spiezio hit a grand slam and a solo homer, sending Mike Mussina to his first loss of the season in the Angels’ 10-3 win Tuesday night.

“We did a lot of good things tonight,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “We worked some tough at-bats, starting with the first at-bat of the game. We can pressure clubs and get into our game. We did that tonight.”

Garret Anderson added a two-run homer, and David Eckstein went 4-for-5 for the Angels, who stunned the Yankees in the first round of last year’s playoffs.

John Lackey (2-3) allowed two runs in six innings for Anaheim, which hadn’t played at Yankee Stadium since rallying to win Game 2 of the playoffs. The Angels won the next two games to take the series and went on to win the first World Series championship in franchise history.

“We seem to bring out the best in that ballclub,” Yankees manager Joe Torre said. “They beat our brains out. That’s basically what it comes down to.”

Jeter went 1-for-4 in his first game after missing six weeks with a dislocated left shoulder. Jeter, who hurt himself on a headfirst slide on opening night in Toronto, didn’t need to make any plays to test his shoulder in his return.

“I feel fine,” he said. “I got good pitches to hit. I just got under them. The first at-bat I was a little nervous. I got out in front and popped the ball up.”

New York went 25-11 during Jeter’s absence, winning two of three games in Anaheim. The Yankees have lost three of their last four overall.

Anaheim set a postseason record last year by hitting .376 in the division series against the Yankees and scored 31 runs in the four games.

Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter avoids an inside pitch in the first inning of his return to the team. Out since opening day with a dislocated shoulder, Jeter had a hit in the Yankees' 10-3 loss to Anaheim Tuesday in New York.

The Angels did in the Yankees again.

Spiezio snapped a 25 at-bat hitless streak in the fourth inning against Mussina (7-1) with a drive off the facing of the upper deck in right field. He added the slam in the ninth off Juan Acevedo following an intentional walk to Brad Fullmer.

“I don’t blame them. I haven’t been hitting the ball well,” said Spiezio, who had his sixth career multihomer game. “After a month I finally got a hit. They probably thought it was a fluke.”

Red Sox 5, Rangers 4

Boston — Nomar Garciaparra hit an RBI double that capped a three-run eighth inning as Boston beat Texas. Boston (24-14) has won eight games this season in its last at-bat.

Devil Rays 7,

Blue Jays 5

Toronto — Newly promoted Jared Sandberg hit a two-run homer, and Joe Kennedy rebounded from the worst outing of his career, leading Tampa Bay over Toronto. Sandberg, recalled from Triple-A Durham before the game despite hitting just .236 there, gave Tampa Bay a 5-2 lead in the sixth with his two-run shot off former Devil Ray Tanyon Sturtze (3-4).

Athletics 3, Tigers 1

Detroit — Miguel Tejada’s two-run double broke a seventh-inning tie, lifting Ted Lilly and Oakland over Detroit. Mike Maroth became the first Tigers pitcher to lose his first eight decisions since Ted Gray in 1953, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, baseball’s statistician.

Mariners 8, Indians 3

Cleveland — Randy Winn drove in three runs, and Joel Pineiro settled down after a shaky start to lead Seattle past Cleveland. Winn had a two-run triple and an RBI single as Seattle won for the seventh time in 10 games.

White Sox 1, Orioles 0

Chicago — Esteban Loaiza didn’t allow a runner past second base in seven dominant innings for Chicago. Loaiza (7-1) got his first five outs on strikeouts and made some nice plays in the field to aid his cause. He gave up five hits and lowered his ERA to 2.05.
