There are a lot of mixed emotions after the Angels won 7-4 on Monday. On one hand, the Angels won back-to-back games, had a strong all-around performance from the team, and saw Shohei Ohtani somehow homer on a pitch that was eye-level. On the other hand, Mike Trout strained his calf and it's a good bet he'll be missing some time. We break it all down in this episode.
