The Angels took the lead in the fourth and extended it in the fifth with Trout's 17th homer of the season, further widening the gap with a strong eighth inning performance. Arizona attempted a comeback in the eighth but was ultimately stopped by consecutive run-scoring singles from Zach Neto, Nolan Schanuel, and Trout.
