OAKLAND -- Mike Trout continued his tear, going 3-for-3 as the Angels took advantage of A's mistakes and backed a solid start by Tyler Skaggs for an 8-4 win on Friday, snapping a four-game losing streak.
Trout's perfect night at the plate included singles in his first three at-bats, a sacrifice fly, a walk and two runs scored. He is 10-for-14 dating back to the last series against the Mariners, and has reached base in eight of his last nine plate appearances, with the sacrifice fly the only exception.
Skaggs allowed two unearned runs in seven innings with eight strikeouts.
