Worth noting

By Alden Gonzalez

• In order to clear up a spot for center fielder Peter Bourjos, the Angels designated infielder Chris Nelson for assignment. Nelson accumulated just nine plate appearances since being claimed off waivers from the Yankees on May 18.

• Trout wasn't the only Angels player with a traveling party at Oriole Park. Josh Hamilton was greeted by 100-plus members of his church in Raleigh, N.C.
