Trout Hits by Pitch, Angels' Grit Tested

0:00It's April 5th, this is MLB News, today your AI-powered source for everything, MLB. Angel star Mike Trout took a nasty 94-mile per hour fastball off the hand in the 8th inning Sunday against the Mariners. It came from reliever Casey Lagumina on a Czech swing, and Trout winced bad enough to leave the game after a quick chat with the trainer. Pinchrunner, Oswald Paraza stepped in for him right there. This marks the second time in the series, Trout got plunked by Mariners' pitcher. Friday in the home opener, Brian Wu's sinker tagged him after going up and in twice. Tensions flared a bit, but no major drama unfolded on the field. Trout jogged toward the mound later that Friday after a foul ball, and Wu apologized on the spot. Meanwhile, Angel's hurler Reed Dettmer's fired one behind Mariners standout, Julio Rodriguez, calling it a yanked pitch by mistake. No hits there. Just some edge to the matchup. No word yet on Trout's hand status, or if X-Ray showed anything serious, but he's day to day at worst for now.

1:03The angels hope their captain bounces back quick in this early season grind. That kind of hits test the player's grit, but Trout's bill for it. He benign on how the series wraps, and what it means for the Halo's lineup moving. Forward.
