Mike Trout's superhuman power surge vs. Rangers continues off recovering starter Drew Smyly

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Mike Trout is kind of like The Incredible Hulk.

"Maybe I made him mad," Drew Smyly said Saturday. "And you don't want to make him mad."

In his second start for the Rangers, Smyly hit Trout with a pitch in his second at-bat while trying to come inside. The next time up, he tried to go up and in. Trout did what Trout does: Drove into the left field seats for a game-changing 458-foot grand slam in Los Angeles' 5-1 win.

Mad or not, Trout is dangerous enough. The Rangers are, however, bringing out the beast in him this weekend.
