Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout and Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve may not look anything alike, but they're brothers now. They're brothers for life after Trout tripped over second base on Monday while legging out a triple, just like Altuve did on Saturday. And he did it right in front of Altuve. Their bonding actually started before the game between the Angels and the Astros. While they were doing their pre-game warm-ups, Trout good-naturedly razzed Altuve about his tumble. He had no idea that in just a few innings, he'd be eating his words. And some infield dirt. Fast forward to the bottom of the sixth inning. Trout was batting against Astros starter Collin McHugh, and he hit the 2-2 pitch up the right field line. George Springer ran to the line and made a grab at the ball, but he missed, and so Trout's wheels revved up and he headed for third base. At least he thought he was. As Trout rounded second, he missed the bag and took a few big, unbalanced steps before falling forward and sliding on his belly. It wasn't the most graceful moment for Mike Trout. He got to his feet and scrambled back to second, pointing at Altuve the entire time. Trout knew what had happened. He'd tempted fate by making fun of Altuve's tumble, and now he'd done the exact same thing.

Trout grabbed and held Altuve's head with his two giant hands to demonstrate their newly deepened friendship. Continue to Article

For most of the night Monday, the Astros trailed. ''When we can get into a game of bullpens, we feel pretty good about it,'' Hinch said. After the Astros rallied to tie the score with two runs in the seventh and then took the lead with two more in the ninth, closer Will Harris wriggled out of major trouble in the bottom of the inning to preserve a 4-2 victory.
