Mike Trout did it to the Texas Rangers again Saturday afternoon, this time in grand fashion.

Baseball’s best player connected for a grand slam in the fourth inning, his first since Sept. 15, 2015, and Tyler Skaggs allowed only run on five hits in 6 1/3 innings as the Los Angeles Angels won 5-1.

Albert Pujols connected for his first home run of the season, and the shot to start the seventh inning gave him 3,089 career hits.
