Worth noting

• J.B. Shuck was out of the starting lineup on Friday, one day after exiting in the fifth inning with a sprained right ankle. Scioscia said the ankle is "a little tender, but hopefully we'll be able to see him at some point in the series -- maybe Sunday." Shuck pinch-hit in the ninth on Friday, grounding out to second base to end the game.

• With Saturday's game time changing from 7:05 p.m. CT to 11:05 a.m. due to threats of heavy rain in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, the Angels sent scheduled starter Garrett Richards back to his hotel room early on Friday night.

• Trout drew two walks on Friday and has now reached base 305 times this season, tying Darin Erstad (2000) for the Angels' club record. On Thursday, he passed Rickey Henderson (301 in 1980) for most times reaching base for a player in his age-21 season or younger.
