The Angels took an early 2-0 lead on Trout\u2019s two-run single in the first inning.<\/p>\n<p>In the second inning, Yainer Diaz hit a ball toward the right-field line in foul territory, which Trout attempted to catch. However, a fan wearing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/team\/houston-astros\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Astros<\/a> jersey snatched the ball out of his glove.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Trout\u2019s objection, the umpires ruled the play a foul ball instead of a catch. The interference didn\u2019t affect the outcome, as the Angels went on to win the game 4-1.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>After the game, Trout met the fan, who expressed regret for his actions.

But he was really apologetic. I learn new things every single day. Once I go into the stands, it&#8217;s free game. Being in right field, it\u2019s a little different. In center, I don\u2019t really get that play.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThey were really apologetic,\u201d Trout added. \u201cIt didn&#8217;t really affect the game. I\u2019ve got kids myself and that kid was probably nine years old. Just seeing them after the game, they were really nice people. They had to move and they probably spent hard-earned money on those tickets.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Following the win, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/team\/los-angeles-angels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Los Angeles Angels<\/a> are now set to face the Houston Astros again on Sunday at Daikin Park.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/2273835-1716392618-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Chirag Dhariya&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nChirag Dhariya is a baseball reporter at Sportskeeda with over two years of experience in content writing and SEO.
