Angels' Trout bats leadoff for first time since 2020, homers in first at-bat against Orioles

Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington was hoping to get a spark by putting Mike Trout in the leadoff spot Tuesday night against the Baltimore Orioles. Hitting leadoff for first time since 2020, Trout drove a fastball from Baltimore's Grayson Rodriguez off the auxiliary scoreboard above the wall in right-center field in the first inning in the Angels 7-4 victory over the Orioles.
