BALTIMORE — Although the Angels’ 4-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night cost them any momentum they hoped to gain from their Shohei Ohtani-led victory a night earlier, there was one decidedly positive development.
Mike Trout crushed two balls.
Both were caught at the warning track, but they represented Trout’s two best swings in more than a week. The Angels’ three-time American League MVP now has just one hit in his last 25 at-bats – an infield hit – but he’s showing signs of being more comfortable at the plate.
