The Los Angeles Angels won go quietly.

Angels catchers Jeff Mathis hit a two-out double in the 11th inning to drive home the winning run and Los Angeles survived a second straight thriller for a 5-4 victory over the Yankees, trimming New York’s lead in the AL Championship Series to 2-1.

Howie Kendrick homered, tripled and then singled with two outs in the 11th. Mathis followed with a drive off the wall in left, and Kendrick slid home well ahead of a desperate throw.

Mathis, the Angels’ backup catcher, came up with his third late-inning, extra-base hit of the series.

Vladimir Guerrero also homered as the Angels overcame a 3-0 deficit and four solo homers by the Yankees, including Jorge Posada’s tying solo shot in the eighth.

Game four is Tuesday night in Anaheim.
