Angels’ Mike Trout strikes a slow start with home races in 3 games in a row

Anaheim, California (AP)-Mike Trout saw everything in Tanner Bibees repertoire on Saturday evening.

The star of Los Angeles Angels was a change and a cut fasting from the ASS Cleveland Guardians through four fast balls, three sliders, a change and a cutter of Guardians before he bumped into the zone on a 95-mile sink.

Biges Best Pitch, a cutter who only hit the opponent against the last season 0.141 (20 for 142), was the one who shook trout his head. Trout has melted in the seventh place in the bat.

“I just missed it,” said Trout.

He didn’t miss the next.

Trout shredded the cutter 429 feet from Bibee 429 foot to the midfield to organize a Homer with two runs in the fifth inning, which triggered a seven-run rise that pushed the angels on a 10: 4 victory against the Guardians.

“I saw everything he had and he also threw a good change to me,” said Trout about his 10-pitch fight against Bibee. “Certainly that helped me (the fifth inning). I think I missed the same field in the previous AT-BAT.”

Trout, who beats 0.172 this season, seems to find his blow after he has only received a single in 13 bats in his first four games. It is an encouraging sign for the three-time MVP of the American League, which has only played an average of 67 games in the last four seasons, which have been impaired by knee, hand, back and calf injuries.

In each of his last three games, he only has one goal – in any case 1: 4 – but all three goals are Homer.

“You speak of Mike Trout,” said Angel’s manager Ron Washington. “I keep hearing what has happened in recent years, but Mike Trout is Mike Trout. I’m not surprised by everything he does out there. Nothing. Nothing. On the defensive side, on the basics, with the bat, I’m not surprised.”

Trout and Logan O’Hippe have played in three consecutive games, a premiere for O’Hippe and the 16th time Trout met in at least three episodes. It was the first time in four years that the same two Angels players in three games in a row after Shohei Ohtani and Jared Walsh had reached June 18 to 2021.

Trout, who always had trouble to hit high-speed fasting at the top of the zone, said that he was in the season with the positioning of his hands, but he said that his primary focus is on the box.

“I don’t think it’s mechanics, I think it keeps your head still,” said Trout. “If it fluctuates back and forward, the ball moves, so I just try to keep it. When the head is quiet, I see everything and the swing is right.”
