Trout hurts thumb sliding into second

Mike Trout stood at his locker and frowned as he looked down at his left thumb, which was puffy and red and sending a clear signal. He’s out. Trout sprained his thumb stealing second base and left Sunday’s game in the sixth inning, and for the Los Angeles Angels, their 9-2 loss at Miami became a secondary concern.

X-rays were negative, and Trout is scheduled to undergo an MRI Monday when the team returns to Los Angeles.

“A scary thing,” Trout said. “Hopefully it’s just sore and just jammed, a bad jam. I’m obviously bummed out, but Monday if it feels a little better, we’ll see how it goes.”

The Angels hope Trout can avoid the disabled list, Manager Mike Scioscia said, although he stressed the need for further evaluation.

“The first indication is it just looks like a little sprain,” Scioscia said.

Trout yelled in pain as he rose after he jammed his thumb into second base sliding headfirst in the fifth inning. He was examined by a trainer and stayed in the game, but was replaced in the sixth when the thumb became stiff.

“It was definitely sore for sure,” Trout said. “It was aching.”

The reigning American League MVP was 0 for 2 when he departed with the Angels trailing 4-2. He finished 2 for 9 in the series to drop his average to .337, although he hit his 16th homer Saturday to take the major league lead.

KISNER WINS COLONIAL » Kevin Kisner birdied the first three holes on the back nine to take the lead and held on to win at Colonial despite a charge by defending champion Jordan Spieth.

Kisner shot a 4-under 66 to finish at 10-under 270, including a clutch par save on the 18th hole after a wayward tee shot and an approach that was off the back side of the green and well below the hole. He finished a stroke ahead of Spieth, Sean O’Hair and Jon Rahm.

Spieth shot a bogeyfree 65, and was standing on a chair to see over the crowd at the 18th green when Kisner putted up the mound to 5 feet of the cup and then made the winning putt. That came right after Rahm’s 10-foot birdie chance skirted just to the left of the hole.

The 33-year-old Kisner got his second PGA Tour victory in 148 starts since his debut in 2011, and a check for just more than $1.2 million. He was a runner-up twice this year, and six times over past three seasons. LANGER WINS SENIOR PGA » Bernhard Langer played near-flawless golf and took advantage of Vijay Singh’s late mistakes to win the Senior PGA Championship at Trump National on Sunday for his record ninth senior major.

The Senior PGA was the only major that had eluded the 59-year-old German star during his dominant decade-long run on the 50-and-over circuit.

Despite a few dozen protesters, the drama remained on the course at President Donald Trump’s club on the shores of the Potomac River.

Trump, coming off a nine-day trip abroad, did not attend the final round.

Langer pulled ahead of Singh with a 12-foot birdie on the par-4 16th. Singh three-putted 17 to give Langer a two-shot advantage.

After Singh birdied 18, Langer calmly tapped in for par and a one-shot victory. He shot a 4-under 68 to finish at 18-under 270.
