Pinch-hitter Jake Lamb ties the score with a leadoff home run, setting up Trout’s first go-ahead ninth-inning homer since 2015. Shohei Ohtani strikes out 13 but gets a no-decision.
ST. LOUIS — Mike Trout delivered in a way he hadn’t in a long time.
It was the first time Trout had hit a go-ahead homer in the ninth since July 7, 2015. He had hit only two others in his career, both in 2014. After Trout pulled a homer just inside the left field pole, the Angels added an insurance run on a Shohei Ohtani double and an Anthony Rendon single.The Angels won their third straight game and got to three games over .500 for the first time this season. They also took Ohtani off the hook for a loss after he’d allowed four runs in five innings, despite a career-high equaling 13 strikeouts.Neto left the game with a contusion on one of the fingers on his right hand.
Without him, the Angels would need to do some shuffling. It would probably mean more playing time for Luis Rengifo and more time at shortstop for Gio Urshela.
