Birthday boy Trout sets tone for wild win vs. O's

With two on and two outs, Chris Iannetta drove a Kevin Gausman offering deep into the left-center-field gap for a two-run double. David DeJesus followed with a line-drive RBI single to right off reliever Chaz Roe, his second hit in 22 at-bats since joining the Angels. Two innings later, the Angels pulled away on C.J. Cron's towering, pinch-hit two-run homer that was projected by Statcast™ to land 456 feet away.

Birthday bash: Trout turned on a 97-mph fastball from Gausman in the first inning and lined it over the fence in left-center field, giving him a home run on his birthday for the third time in four years.
