BALTIMORE -- As tough as cross-country trips can be, Angels superstar Mike Trout probably wishes he could visit Camden Yards more often. This year’s stop may have come at the perfect time.
Trout launched his ninth career home run in Baltimore in the third inning of Friday’s rain-delayed 8-3 victory over the Orioles, a majestic two-run shot off Dan Straily that sailed just beyond the reach of leaping center fielder Stevie Wilkerson. Trout later added an RBI double to complete an encouraging night after entering Friday on a rare 2-for-16 slide.
“Just feeling normal,” Trout said of his night, which came a couple days after some extra hitting work in Detroit. “You take some swings and you’re like, ‘What’s going on? Something’s off.’ And just recognizing it and just trying to fix it in the cage.
“I hit some balls hard tonight, and obviously one went over the fence. It’s a good start.”
Before the game, Trout rekindled his relationship with 7-year-old fan Gavin Edelson, whom he met during last summer’s trip to Camden Yards.
