Mike Trout went 1-for-5 and scored two runs as the Angels defeated the Nationals on Tuesday. Trout struck out three times, the continuation of an uncharacteristic trend. He has now struck out in 15 of his last 38 plate appearances. His 28 percent strikeout rate on the season is well above last season's 19 percent rate. Trout has still been incredibly productive, but it's something to keep an eye on.
