Mike Trout hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and another in the ninth, but the visiting Angels lost 7-5 to the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.
Milwaukee earned its third consecutive victory despite shortstop Willy Adames and manager Craig Counsell getting ejected in the sixth inning.Tyler Anderson pitched 6 2/3 strong innings for the Angels, but they gave up a tiebreaking run in the eighth inning and lost 2-1 at Milwaukee.
Adames asked for a timeout from plate umpire Adam Beck, who refused to grant the request and called a strike. Adames had gotten two previous allowances. Counsell came out to argue and got tossed. Adames struck out swinging on the next pitch, had words with Beck and was ejected. Adames had to be restrained by his teammates.
“Willy stepped out on that pitch, and Adam suggested that he didn’t call timeout. I kind of got that,” Counsell said.Burnes gave up one run and five hits. William Contreras and Jesse Winker each drove in two runs for the Brewers.“To double up Ohtani is very difficult,” Counsell said. “That’s a very tough play to complete.”
Burnes struck out five and walked one. The Angels went one for eight with runners in scoring position for the game and left eight on.
