ANAHEIM -- For one night, at least, the experiment worked.
The Angels were willing to sacrifice a significant amount of defense in left field because they believed their short-handed lineup would benefit from stacking two right-handed power hitters, C.J. Cron and Jefry Marte, behind Mike Trout and Albert Pujols.
Cron and Marte then combined to go 4-for-8 in a 10-2 rout over the Twins in Wednesday night's series finale, driving in five runs and scoring three times.
Cron, 6-for-25 to start the month, ripped a couple of singles and lofted a double into deep left-center field.
