ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Angels are rising right along with Mike Trout's batting average a month after both of them were scuffling.
Trout homered for the second straight game and the Angels rallied to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 on Thursday night, taking three out of four games in the Freeway Series and winning for the sixth time in seven games.
Carlos Perez added a solo shot for the Angels, who have scored 52 runs in the last eight games after just eight in their previous five games.
Trout was 2 of 3 with a walk, drove in three runs and scored twice in front of 45,007, the largest crowd for a regular-season game since Angel Stadium was renovated in 1998.
