ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Not even an off day in the shadow of Disneyland could make this sudden downward spiral stop for the Twins.
Tuesday's comeuppance came in the form of a 7-0 loss to the surging Los Angeles Angels, who didn't even bother to use reigning American League most valuable player (and All-Star Game MVP For Perpetuity) Mike Trout.
Out with a sore heel, Trout didn't get a chance to extend his 3-for-6 career showing off Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson.
No matter. His replacement, No. 9 hitter Daniel Robertson, went 2 for 2 and scored one of two runs off Gibson (8-7) in the first five innings at Angel Stadium.
