Astros 3, Angels 6: 3 pitches prove to be the Astros downfall; Trout too much

Trout's 100th and 101st career home runs prove too much for the Astros.

For the most part, the Astros pitching staff has been stellar this season. The Astros rotation has a 2.75 ERA as a team. The offense is another story. Tonight was no different expect for three pitches.

Robert Hernandez retired nine-straight batters to start the game. He finished the night allowing three runs on three hits, striking out six, and walking one through six innings. The Angels first test against Hernandez came in the fourth inning. Kole Calhoun put a charge into a belt-high slider to lead off the inning, the ball headed toward Tal's hill.
