At the start of the season, the Angels were winning without Mike Trout producing up to his normal standard. But on Thursday, Los Angeles clinched another series win as Trout’s bat came alive.
Trout, who enjoyed a break from the field as he served as the designated hitter, smacked two home runs in the Angels’ 11-1 win over the Rays.
First, Trout sent his fourth home run of the season over the fence in right field for the Angels’ third homer of the top of the fifth inning. With a runner already on base, Trout’s two-run shot gave the Angels a 7-1 lead at the time.
