The Los Angeles Angels beat the Kansas City Royals, 5-1, on Tuesday and improved to 65-73 on the year. Southpaw Mitch Farris earned a win in his MLB debut.

In other news, the Halos had to scratch three-time MVP Mike Trout from the lineup shortly before the game due to what the team called a skin infection. Trout is currently enduring the longest home run drought he has dealt with in a decade.

Additionally, an All-Star left-handed pitcher is likely out for the remainder of the season after suffering an injury in the gym. This led to him landing on the injured list two days after his most recent start.

Finally, one of the Angels' trade deadline additions has been shining lately with a sudden hot streak. The 25-year-old is hoping to use his offensive boost to carry him through the final month of the season with some increased production.
