ST. PETERSBURG -- The Angels sorely missed Mike Trout's bat on Thursday afternoon.
With Trout out of the lineup with a right wrist contusion, the Angels mustered only three hits and struck out 13 times in a 4-2 loss to the Rays, sealing a three-game sweep at Tropicana Field.
Tampa Bay right-hander Hunter Wood pitched two scoreless innings to start the game before giving way to left-hander Jalen Beeks, who took a shutout into the seventh inning before giving up a pair of runs that brought the Angels within two.
