OAKLAND – Mike Trout did the damage Wednesday that one expects from a reigning MVP – a homer and three RBI to help doom the A’s.
What hurt the A’s most in a 6-3 defeat, however, were the blows delivered by the non-superstars in the Los Angeles Angels’ lineup. Jesse Hahn regretted a first-inning battle with Erick Aybar, when the Angels shortstop knocked a 1-2 pitch into center for a two-out two-run single that put the A’s in an early hole.
