MIAMI — Mike Trout sprained his left thumb stealing second base Sunday, and the Los Angeles Angels took a thumping without him, losing 9-2 to the Miami Marlins.
Trout yelled in pain as he rose after sliding headfirst in the fifth inning. He was examined by a trainer, stayed in the game, but was replaced in the sixth. X-rays were negative, and there was no immediate timetable regarding his return. The reigning American League MVP was 0 for 2 when he departed with the Angels trailing 4-2. He finished 2 for 9 in the series to drop his average to .337.
Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton had three hits, including his 13th home run, and J.T. Riddle hit his third homer and drove in three runs. Jose Urena (3-2) won despite a career-high six walks in five innings.
Matt Shoemaker (4-3) allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings for the Angels, who got a homer from Martin Maldonado.
