Trout, Pujols and Ohtani Homer as the Angels confuse the White Sox 11-3 (Jul 26, 2018)

ANAHEIM, California (AP) With their three biggest stars shining all Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Angels had a good show.

Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Shohei Ohtani played the same game for the first time and the Angels fought for an 11-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

Pujols pbaded Ken Griffey Jr. for sixth place on the career list with his 631st home run. Trout connected twice and driven in four points. Ohtani shot a two-point shot at 446 feet.

Not to be outdone, Tyler Skaggs (8-6) tied a career high with nine strikeouts in six innings. He sniffed his first five hitters – the previous thrower of the Angels to complete that was Jim Abbott in Oakland in September of 1995.

Trout had another great day with his 13th career multihomer game. He had a solo shot in the first run and a three-point run in the sixth to give him 28 runs this season. The MVP twice won 3 against 4 and scored three points.

Trout has been covered 93 times, the club's history record with 103 games. He got sites to hit on Wednesday and also reached the base when he was lying in the elbow.

"I'm always ready, I'm not going up there thinking they're going to walk me," Trout said. "I must have the state of mind of, I will get a pitch to hit, and take the rides when they come."

Pujols hit a homer solo on the left field in the second, his 17th of the season. The 38-year-old slugger even swept the third inning of the fourth inning for his first stolen base this year.

"It's crazy. It seems like every shot is a hit, double, and he pbades somebody, "said Trout." He probably pbaded someone on that stolen base, too. He puts on this cloak from time to time. It's really cool. It's fun to be a part of and fun to witness.

Skaggs retired the first 10 batters he faced, seven by strikeout, allowing two runs, one earned and four hits.

The Angels lost five of their last six matches, but Skaggs received early support and his teammates then opened the game.

James Shields (4-12) had another tough exit for Chicago, giving up three home runs. He retired six batters in the first two innings, but also allowed two hits in this sequence. He allowed six runs on seven hits and three walks in four sets.

Kole Calhoun was fifth in the RBI, while the Angels scored a four-point rally, adding five points in the sixth.
