Mike Trout Returns as Angels End Five-Game Losing Streak vs Guardians

News summary

The Los Angeles Angels snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians, highlighted by Mike Trout's return to the lineup after a month on the injured list due to a bone bruise in his left knee. Trout went 1-for-5 as the designated hitter, showing signs of rust but enthusiasm to contribute, posting on social media that he was "pumped to get back out there with the boys." Right-hander José Soriano pitched six strong innings, while Jorge Soler added a homer and two RBIs for the Angels. However, the positive momentum was dampened by another injury as reliever Robert Stephenson exited early with right biceps discomfort shortly after returning from Tommy John surgery. Despite Trout's modest batting average of .179 this season, his presence is crucial for the Angels, who are struggling with a 25-30 record and are aiming to end their extended playoff drought. The team hopes Trout's return will spark a turnaround as they prepare for a three-game series against Cleveland.
