The Angels scored nine runs in the bottom of the first inning to take a huge lead over Detroit. Peter Bourjos, Mike Trout, and Albert Pujols each collect two hits, Trout hitting his second home run. Eight of the ten hits in the inning were singles.

After scoring 44 runs in their first 13 games, the Angels have now scored 23 in their last three, and they have plenty of time to add to today’s total. This is what the front office had in mind when they constructed this team.
