HOUSTON — For a moment in the Angels’ 9-1 loss to the Houston Astros on Saturday, they had a chance to get back into the game.
Although they trailed by four runs in the fifth inning, they had two on and Mike Trout coming to the plate, with Shohei Ohtani behind him.
Trout whiffed at two straight fastballs from José Urquidy, and then he took the third, which nicked the top of the strike zone, ending the Angels’ best threat.
