The Angels have Mike Trout. The Giants have Mike Yastrzemski.
One is a future Hall of Famer closing in on 300 career homers and the other is the grandson of a Hall of Famer closing in on 30 years old.
Both are the most important players in their respective lineups and on Monday, each player delivered key hits for their respective clubs at Angel Stadium.
Trout and Yastrzemski have also experienced the pain of watching victories slip away due to bullpen blowups this season, and on Monday, it was the Giants’ outfielder who saw closer Trevor Gott blow his third consecutive save in a 7-6 walk-off loss.
