The Angels’ Mike Trout continues his mastery of the Mariners’ ace, hitting a 2-run homer in the sixth inning to put Los Angeles ahead to stay in a 4-2 win.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Any nausea or physical discomfort that Felix Hernandez felt Saturday night wasn’t the product of the illness that sidelined him for a day. No, his irritation stemmed from the nagging pain that is Mike Trout.
The perennial American League Most Value Player candidate continued his consistent torture of Hernandez and the Mariners in the Angels’ 4-2 victory.
After establishing the record for most strikeouts in Mariners history in the first inning, Hernandez was cruising toward the 145th win of his career, which would tie him with Jamie Moyer for most in club history.
