Trout's catch of the day helps Angles thrash Orioles Jun 28th 2012, 03:20 Wed Jun 27, 2012 11:20pm EDT (Reuters) - Mike Trout's spectacular leaping catch at the center-field fence denied Baltimore an early home run and helped the Los Angeles Angels hammer the Orioles 13-1 on Wednesday. Trout's first-inning highlight reel catch set the tone for a lopsided road victory as the red-hot Angels (42-33) won for the sixth time in seven games to continue their climb in the American League West. Los Angeles stormed to a 9-1 lead by the fourth inning, handing Baltimore pitcher Jason Hammel (8-3) his worst outing of the season and making it an easy night for starter Jered Weaver. The Angels' ace struck out six batters in 6 2/3 innings on the way to picking up the win while the offense strung together 16 hits. Trout had four of those hits to increase his league-leading batting average to .344 while Kendrys Morales recorded four RBIs. The Angels have now won 13 of their last 14 road games, and after a rough start to the season are four games behind AL West leading Texas.
