Aggressive Trout Homers Twice As Angels Rout Rockies, 11-0

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Mike Trout hit two homers and drove in six runs, emergency fill-in Drew Rucinski set down the first 12 Colorado Rockies batters, and the Los Angeles Angels cruised to a 11-0 win Tuesday.

Trout followed his two-run shot off David Hale in the fifth with a three-run drive off Brett Marshall an inning later. The 2014 AL MVP added an RBI groundout that has him at .545 with three homers and 10 RBIs in nine spring games.

Rucinski, whose big league career consists of three relief appearances for the Angels a year ago, struck out Troy Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez, Justin Morneau and two others. The right-hander was lifted after walking Gonzalez to lead off the fifth.

Rucinski replaced C.J. Wilson, who was scratched due to illness.

Despite a regular season-looking lineup, the Rockies didn't get their first hit until Audry Perez's leadoff single in the sixth.
