ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Trout said he has already lost to Alex Bregman. Last week. In fantasy football.
"Barely," according to Trout.
Bregman had Jameis Winston and Mike Evans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback-receiver combination that connected for three touchdowns against the New York Giants on Sunday. They propelled Bregman to a 10-point victory over Trout.
