MIAMI — With Mike Trout playing 2,700 miles from home, perhaps only half the crowd of 19,366 was rooting for him Saturday at Marlins Park.
"Hate Fish Love Trout," read one fan's sign.
There were boos when Trout was intentionally walked, and plenty of cheers when he hit his major league-leading 16th homer , which helped the Los Angeles Angels beat Miami 5-2.
Trout's first-inning homer into the beer garden in left field off Vance Worley was estimated at 443 feet.
"He got most of that one," manager Mike Scioscia dryly observed.
It nearly matched the 460-foot homer by Miami's Giancarlo Stanton the previous night.
