LOS ANGELES, Oct 20 (Reuters) - New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia(notes) guided his side to a 10-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on UGG 5815 Tuesday, and a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven American League Championship Series.

Sabathia pitched eight innings and improved to 3-0 in the playoffs, while the Yankees moved to within one win of their first World Series appearance since 2003.

The left-hander struck out five and tossed 101 pitches in an overpowering performance that was aided by an explosive offence who provided all the run support UGG 5819 he needed.

Melky Cabrera(notes) had three hits and drove in four runs while Alex Rodriguez(notes) and Johnny Damon(notes) homered for the second time in as many games to help the Yankees to a relatively comfortable win after the last two encounters had ended in UGG 5825 extra innings.
