Oh yeah – Mike Trout played.
He put forth a somewhat sneaky dominant three-game series. But amid the chaos of Albert Pujols’ 3,000th hit on Friday, a frenetic Seattle Mariners extra-innings comeback on Saturday and Seattle’s introduction to Japanese hitter/pitcher sensation Shohei Ohtani, Trout did what he seemingly always does.
Trout’s three hits, including a three-run home run to put the Mariners away, encapsulated just how threatening these Los Angeles Angels will be to the Mariners hopes of ending their 17-season playoff drought. He led the Angels to an 8-2 victory on Sunday to win the three-game series.
