Again in the fourth, the Angels rallied with two outs.

Trout and Goodwin had consecutive singles to put runners on the corners. Simmons then singled to right to drive in Trout, and the ball got under the glove of right fielder Alen Hanson, allowing Goodwin to score, too, for a 5-0 lead.

After Drury doubled in the fifth, he came home on a groundout. The Blue Jays added another run in the sixth on an RBI double by Grichuk, but Trout homered with two outs in the bottom half of the inning to make it 6-2.
