KANSAS CITY, Mo. — No one expected Mike Trout’s puzzling to slump to last as long as it has, and now perhaps it’s finally over.
A day after Trout said he’s finally starting to feel like himself, he doubled and homered in the Angels’ 5-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon.
Trout’s homer came on the pitch after Shohei Ohtani continued his sizzling month with a two-run homer to put the Angels ahead in the fifth inning. Ohtani’s major-league-leading 24th homer gave him seven homers on his seven-game trip.
