Justin Upton also homered and drove in four
runs for the Angels. David Fletcher added a two-run single.
Left-hander Andrew Heaney (2-3) allowed three runs and four hits
over seven innings for the Angels. He struck out six and walked
none.
Jose Abreu slugged two homers for the White Sox, who scored four
runs in the ninth and brought the would-be go-ahead run to the
plate before right-hander Hansel Robles struck out Ryan Goins
for his 17th save.
Trout reached 40 homers for the second time in his career and is
one behind his personal best set in 2015. It also represents the
fifth 40-homer campaign in franchise history -- Troy Glaus (47
in 2000, 41 in 2001) and Albert Pujols (40 in 2015) produced the
others.
Chicago right-hander Reynaldo Lopez (7-10) allowed five runs and
nine hits over 5 1/3 innings. He struck out six and walked two.
The Angels moved ahead for good with three runs in the bottom of
the fifth.
Brian Goodwin walked and Trout singled to start the frame,
before Upton drew a one-out walk to load the bases. Fletcher
lined a two-run single to left to give Los Angeles a 4-2
advantage, and Luis Rengifo slapped a two-out, opposite-field
single to left for another run.
Trout singled with two outs in the sixth and the inning remained
alive when Chicago second baseman Yolmer Sanchez booted Shohei
Ohtani's grounder. Upton made the White Sox pay by hitting a
three-run, 412-foot liner over the fence in left-center off
left-hander Josh Osich to make it 8-2.
Abreu hit his second homer of the game -- a 415-foot shot -- in
the seventh for the White Sox to make it 8-3.
James McCann delivered an RBI triple in the ninth and scored on
Eloy Jimenez's infield single. Robles entered and allowed a
two-run, 382-foot homer to right by Welington Castillo as
Chicago pulled within one. Sanchez then singled and Jon Jay
grounded into a fielder's choice and advanced to second on an
error, but Robles then got Goins to end it.
The Angels manufactured a run in the first as Trout reached on
an infield single, advanced to third on Ohtani's double to left
field and scored on Upton's groundout.
Trout made it 2-0 when his two-out, 419-foot blast to
left-center in the third. Trout belted a 2-1 changeup from Lopez
that caromed off the rocks beyond the fence.
The White Sox tied it in the fourth as Tim Anderson singled with
one out and Abreu hammered a 2-1 curveball 388 feet over the
fence in left-center.
