Zack Eflin rang in his thirties on a halo-encrusted mound at Angel Stadium Monday, but the outcome wasn’t as enjoyable as he may have hoped.
Eflin gave up five runs in five innings on nine hits while racking up five strikeouts in front of a crowd of 18,748.
The bottom of the first inning started with an RBI triple from Mike Trout to score Anthony Rendon, and Taylor Ward driving in Trout with a single to start the evening with a 2-0 lead for the Halos.
The Trout triple tied him with Chone Figgins for second the all-time Angels triples list.
