"I like that," Trout said with a grin. "I like it 負かす／撃墜する. I think everybody knows that."
Trout went 4 for 4, 得点する／非難する／２０d four runs and 攻撃する，衝突する his AL-主要な 40th ホームラン, and Andrew Heaney pitched seven innings of four-攻撃する，衝突する ball in the Los Angeles Angels' 8-7 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night.
