The Yankees (61-57) have 11 home runs in their last six games, already surpassing their total from their previous 30 contests.
They rallied from an early 2-0 deficit Tuesday to beat the Angels 14-7 behind a season-high 19 hits -- including three home runs.
"We got behind tonight and were able to come back, and we were able to tack on runs and put up 10 runs in three innings and that's something we haven't done a whole lot of this year," manager Joe Girardi said. "It is encouraging."
Alfonso Soriano had two of those homers and a season-high six RBIs, while Vernon Wells hit his first home run since May 15 and recorded his third multi-hit performance in five games.
"It felt more like the old days," Soriano said.
Wells was hitting .301 with 10 home runs on May 15, before batting .199 over 64 consecutive games without a home run.
New York's power surge could be bad news for Jered Weaver, who allowed two homers in his last appearance after yielding two over his previous eight starts spanning 55 2/3 innings.
A victory Wednesday would give Weaver (7-5, 2.87 ERA) the most wins of any pitcher since the start of July.
He is 6-1 with a 1.78 ERA and 10 walks in eight starts since the beginning of July. That carried into Cleveland Friday, when he surrendered two runs in seven innings of a 5-2 victory. The right-hander finished strong, retiring 10 of the final 11 batters he faced.
That outing at Progressive Field marked one of his better performances on five days' rest. Weaver will be back to four days' rest Wednesday, from which he has posted a 1.91 ERA while giving up three home runs and six walks in 42 1/3 innings. He has a 4.04 ERA with seven home runs and 16 walks allowed in 49 innings on five days' rest.
