Mike Trout Makes Admission About Clutch Struggles After Angels’ Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Angels experienced one of the most painful types of losses on Tuesday: a winnable game that slipped through their fingers.

Trout strikes out twice with runners on – including a chance to break the game open in the fifth – and pops out to end the game with the tying run in scoring position, capping a 3-2 defeat.

Pete Alonso hit a three-run home run, the key hit in a four-run third inning, as the New York Mets finished off a sweep of the Angels with a 6-3 win on Wednesday.
