Trout extends torrid stretch as Halos gain split
(MLB.com Los Angeles Angels)

There was no other player the Angels would have rather had up to bat in that situation. Down, 2-1, in the fifth inning, the Angels had loaded the bases with one out against D-backs right-hander Matt Koch, bringing Mike Trout to the plate. Arizona pitching coach Mike Butcher jogged out to the mound to briefly strategize with Koch, but his counsel proved of little use against Trout, who promptly lined a first-pitch fastball to center field for a two-run, go-ahead single that helped lift the Angels to a 5-4 win over the D-backs on Tuesday night at Angel Stadium.
