Trout Blasts 2 Homers As Angels Squeak By Rockies
DENVER (AP) — Mike Trout homered twice and Johnny Giavotella singled in the tiebreaking run with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the Los Angeles Angels over the Colorado Rockies 3-2 Wednesday night for their fifth straight win.
The start was delayed by rain for 2 hours, 7 minutes, and the teams played in 50-degree weather throughout. It didn't bother Trout, who hit mammoth homers in the first and sixth to account for the Angels' runs against starter Chris Rusin.
It was the fifth multihomer game of Trout's career and second this season. The reigning AL MVP has gone deep 24 times on the year, second in the league to teammate Albert Pujols (26).
