Trout, Pujols homer while Angels beat Reds 9-2

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Trout and Albert Pujols each hit one of the Angels' five home runs, and Los Angeles beat the Cincinnati Reds 9-2 on Monday night.

Trout went 3 for 4 with two RBI and two runs, joining Alex Rodriguez as one of two players to score 100 runs five times before his age-25 season.

Pujols hit his 586th homer, tying Frank Robinson for ninth on the career list.

Kole Calhoun was a triple short of the cycle, and C.J. Cron homered among his three hits for the Angels.

Matt Shoemaker (9-13) allowed two runs and seven hits over seven innings. After giving up a two-run homer to Joey Votto in the first, Shoemaker settled in to win his third straight decision.

Trout scored his 100th run on an RBI single by Pujols in the third inning. It was Pujols' 1,801st RBI and he's now 11 shy of tying Frank Robinson at 20th on the career list.

Dan Straily (10-7) was then chased from the game after giving up a two-run homer to Cron and another home run to Jefry Marte two batters later. Straily was charged with seven runs and eight hits, walked one and struck out three in 2 2/3 innings.

Calhoun led off the fourth with a solo homer to right off Alfredo Simon to bring the Angels' home run tally to five and put them ahead 8-2.

Trout and Pujols hit back-to-back home runs in the first to give the Angels a 3-2 lead. Trout hit a two-run homer and Pujols followed with a solo shot to left.

Reds shortstop Jose Peraza was removed from the game in the third inning with a facial contusion. An errant pickoff throw by Shoemaker missed Cron's glove at first base and hit Peraza in the face. Zack Cozart was inserted as a pinch-runner and remained in the game at shortstop.

TRAINER'S ROOM
