Mike Trout homers and triples, but the Nos. 4 through 9 hitters in the Angels’ lineup go 3 for 21 with seven strikeouts and ground into two double plays in a 4-3 loss.
ANAHEIM ― On May 16, Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward made a quip about “the lesser guys” in the Angels’ lineup doing most of the damage on offense in a head-to-head game. The next day, a team set of red T-shirts emblazoned with the words “the lesser guys” were hanging from every locker in the clubhouse.
Friday night against the Seattle Mariners, the Angels’ top three hitters went 4 for 10 and were responsible for all three runs in a 4-3 loss. The rest of the lineup – the “lesser guys,” if you will – went 3 for 21 with seven strikeouts and grounded into two double plays. Mike Trout went 2 for 3 with an RBI triple, a home run, and an intentional walk that matched Vladimir Guerrero’s franchise record in the category. Shohei Ohtani singled and drove in a run. Taylor Ward singled and scored a run from the top of the lineup.
Angels starter Michael Lorenzen labored through three innings, needing 85 pitches to record nine outs. It was his shortest start of the season.
