ANAHEIM -- Mike Trout, Yunel Escobar and Andrelton Simmons all homered and the Angels completed a sweep of the Royals on Wednesday night, beating the reigning World Series champions, 4-2, in Southern California.
Nick Tropeano began the game by giving up a prodigious two-run homer to Eric Hosmer in the first inning, but the Angels' pitching staff kept Kansas City scoreless over the next eight frames, helping the club move to 11-11.
Trout tied the game with a two-run homer in the fourth, Escobar gave the Angels the lead with a solo shot in the sixth and Simmons provided a little insurance with a solo shot into the left-field bullpen in the seventh, his first as a member of the Angels.
