Mike Trout reached three times and had his first two-steal game of the year Monday against the Indians.
Trout's back must be feeling good; four of his nine steals on the season have come since he rejoined the starting lineup on June 5. If not for his one at-bat cameo on June 3, he'd be working on a 22-game hitting streak right now.
