Mike Trout hit his seventh home run of the season, a 420-foot two-run homer that gave the Los Angeles Angels a 2-1 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays in the eighth inning. This crucial hit, which scored Anthony Rendon from second, was part of a significant inning for the Angels, who extended their lead to 5-1 thanks to a three-run double by Matt Thaiss. The Rays narrowed the gap to 5-3 following a two-run homer by Harold Ramirez, but the Angels maintained their lead. Trout was critical of himself for failing in a big spot yesterday, but today he made up for it.

The Rays are back in it. Harold Ramirez hits a two-run shot off Matt Moore. Still no outs in the 8th, and the Angels are up 5-3. Ron Washington out to conference with Moore.

This is the first time Anthony Rendon has ever scored on a Mike Trout HR. Trout has hit 90 HR since Rendon joined the Angels. https://t.co/WV3JykmRLz
