Angels' Mike Trout homers in first at-bat since birth of son

Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout homered in his first at-bat as a father, turning on a 2-2 slider from the Mariners' Mike Dunn and launching it 407 feet in the first inning of Tuesday's 5-3 win at Seattle.

Trout, six days removed from his previous game, entered Tuesday batting .324/.428/.639 for his career against the division-rival Mariners. The home run, a solo shot to left-center, was his 42nd against Seattle, his most against any team and second behind only the total of Rafael Palmeiro, who had 10 more home runs against the Mariners in 58 more games.
