Angels’ Trout takes leave
Calhoun starts it off with tiebreaking double; Upton adds two-run homer to help get past the Padres.
The All-Star outfielder is tending to a family matter and might not be available to play Thursday.
SAN DIEGO — Kole Calhoun hit a tiebreaking double in the 10th inning and Justin Upton added a two-run homer to cap a four-run rally that carried the Angels past the San Diego Padres 6-3 Monday night.
Jose Briceno homered early for the Angels, who got 71⁄3 solid innings from starter Andrew Heaney. Upton robbed pinch-hitter Eric Hosmer of a go-ahead homer in the eighth, making a catch above the left-field wall to leave Hosmer with a tying sacrifice fly.
Calhoun drove in Eric Young Jr. with a ground-rule double to put the Angels ahead. Shohei Ohtani scored on David Fletcher’s perfect squeeze bunt, and Upton made it 6-2 when he connected off Craig Stammen (5-2) for his 25th homer.
Briceno opened the 10th with a double but was thrown out at third by catcher Austin Hedges on Young’s bunt.
Briceno was originally ruled safe, but the call was overturned after a replay review.
Young then stole second and Ohtani drew a pinch-hit walk to set up Calhoun’s big hit.
Blake Parker gave up a solo homer to Hosmer in the bottom half.
The Padres failed to score after putting runners on first and second in the ninth when reliever Cam Bedrosian (4-2) got Freddy Galvis to foul out.
Trout tends to matter
Mike Trout may not return Thursday as hoped. The two-time AL MVP outfielder is away from the team to tend to a personal family matter and the Angels are unsure whether he’ll be able to play Thursday, when he is eligible to return from the right wrist inflammation that sent him to the 10-day disabled list Aug. 9 (retroactive to Aug. 6). Trout, 27, has not played since Aug. 1. He is hitting .309 with 30 homers, 60 RBIs and 21 steals. Triple-A club extended
The Angels have extended their triple-A affiliation with the Salt Lake Bees for two years through the 2022 season.
The Angels have been affiliated with the Salt Lake club since 2001, when they were the Stingers.
The new deal will extend the clubs’ affiliation for at least 22 seasons.
