Trout has seen his OPS fall from 1.020 on April 29 to .826, and his batting average fall 50 points. Recently, Trout was dropped from second to third in the Angels’ lineup.
ANAHEIM ― Mike Trout snapped an 0-for-14 skid Sunday with a bloop single in the third inning of the Angels’ 9-4 win over the Seattle Mariners. It might not have been the convincing sort of slumpbuster he was hoping for, although the 360-foot flyout to deep right field in Trout’s next at-bat mustered some momentary majesty. It would have been a home run in Yankee Stadium, according to Statcast.
Angels manager Phil Nevin said he considered giving Trout the day off Sunday, but had second thoughts after looking ahead to the Angels’ forthcoming road trip to Texas and Kansas City. Barría has a 2-2 record and a 1.85 ERA in 14 games for the Angels. Take away his first game of the season, a mop-up relief appearance April 4 in Seattle, and Barría’s ERA falls to an eye-popping 1.02 across 36 1/3 innings.
