Mike Trout returned to the Los Angeles Angels lineup Friday night after a month-long spell on the injured list with a bone bruise, but he still came back earlier than the Angels expected him to.

Trout extended the Angels' lead to three runs in the fifth inning, when his double to left field brought Yoan Moncada home. It was Trout's second game back from a four-week absence due to a knee injury and his first RBI since April 25 against the Twins.
