Mike Trout returns and hits two homers in the victory, the Angels’ second win in their last three games after losing 14 in a row
ANAHEIM ― The Angels are scheduled to play another 101 games in 2022, and only six in their creamy “City Connect” uniforms. They might want to re-think that. Debuting their new threads Saturday before an announced crowd of 36,408 at Angel Stadium, the Angels hit five home runs in an 11-6 walloping of the New York Mets. Jared Walsh hit for the cycle. Mike Trout returned to the lineup after a four-day injury absence and hit his 15th and 16th homers of the season. He and Shohei Ohtani each finished a triple shy of the cycle. Walsh completed the feat with his triple in the eighth inning. With Trevor Williams pitching and two runners on base, Walsh hit a line drive to center field that tailed away from Khalil Lee. Lee dove, the ball squirted under his glove and trickled to the fence, and Walsh easily strode into third base with the ninth cycle in franchise history.
