What a way to ignite an offense. And ignite it, he did. Kole Calhoun, Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout also homered. Trout was a triple away from The Cycle, going 4 for 5 and collecting 8 total bases. He and Ohtani both finished with 3 RBI.
There was pitching. Both sides had pitchers. But clearly the pitchign was not the reason to be watching this contest. In this single game, Trout garnered 0.3 fWAR, Calhoun and Upton 0.2 fWAR, and Ohtani 0.1 fWAR. The offense doubled up the Blue Jays and tallied a series opening 10-5 victory.
