The Angels’ bats were scorching hot early on against the Rockies on Saturday, taking advantage of the hitter-friendly Coors Field amid L.A.’s roadtrip. The Halos piled on 23 runs in Colorado before the end of the fourth inning, jumping out to an early 23–0 lead.
L.A. scored 13 runs in the third inning alone, with Mike Trout spearheading what ended up being back-to-back-to-back home runs for the Angels, as his solo shot was followed up by homers from Brandon Drury and Matt Thaiss.
It was a short outing for veteran right-hander Chase Anderson, who was tagged for nine earned runs in 2.2 innings of work. Rockies reliever Matt Carasiti surrendered six earned runs while recording just one out after taking over in the third.
