Trout drives in four runs as Angels take three-game series from Blue Jays
TORONTO — J.A. Happ felt he had what it took to pitch deep into Thursday night’s game.
Then, suddenly, he didn’t.
After five stellar innings — including a stretch where Happ retired 13 batters in a row — the Blue Jays left-hander allowed four runs in the sixth frame en route to a 6-3 defeat to the Los Angeles Angels.
A lead-off double to Kaleb Cowart and a walk to No. 9 hitter Gregorio Petit was followed by a strange play that saw Kole Calhoun reach base when his innocent-looking ground ball hit Happ on the outside of the left foot and ricochet into foul territory to load the bases for the Angels’ hottest hitters.
