Mike Trout Homers, Scores Twice In Loss
3 mins agoLos Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout belted a first-inning solo home run off of Cleveland's starter Gavin Williams, while also walking once and scoring twice in the 8-6 loss to the Guardians. While his batting average of .160 doesn't look like much, that makes three consecutive games with an extra-base hit (1 2B, 2 HR) and at least one run scored, as well as four straight with an RBI. A .317 xBA suggests things should be going better for the 33-year-old slugger, so perhaps he is starting to heat up. The 3x AL MVP has never faced Saturday's starter Tanner Bibee before, but has a 121 batter versus pitcher matchup rating according to RotoBaller's BvP tool, so he could be a solid DFS play. Fantasy managers in season-long leagues will, of course, continue to fire up the 11x All-Star.
