Trout (2), Pujols, Ohtani host HR show in rout
The Angels’ slumping offense experienced a resurgence on Wednesday night, as Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Shohei Ohtani homered off right-hander James Shields to power the club’s 11-3 win over the White Sox at Angel Stadium. Pujols’ second-inning solo shot gave him 631 home runs for his career, passing Ken Griffey Jr. for sole possession of sixth place on the all-time list. Trout enjoyed a memorable night of his own, launching a solo home run off Shields in the first inning and a three-run homer off reliever Chris Volstad in the sixth to collect his 13th career multi-homer game.
