Being a father seems to suit Mike Trout.
Trout returned to the Los Angeles lineup Tuesday night and homered in his first at-bat since the birth of his first child, Beckham Aaron Trout, to help the Angels to a 5-3 victory in the opener of a three-game series against the host Seattle Mariners.
It was Trout's 25th career homer in Seattle, the most he's hit at any opposing ballpark and the most by a road player at Safeco Field/T-Mobile Park since it opened in 1999.
Trout said he hasn't gotten much sleep since the birth last Thursday afternoon but that his wife, Jessica, and baby are doing fine.
