Angels roll past Royals

? Mike Trout homered and threw out a runner at third base, Chris Iannetta also went deep, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Kansas City Royals on Friday night.

C.J. Wilson (6-3) allowed a run and four hits in 6 1/3 innings, striking out three and walking four. Wilson also hit two batters, including leadoff man Nori Aoki with his 105th and final pitch. Aoki had two singles and a double.

The Angels won for the 11th time in 14 games and are a season-best seven games over .500.

Danny Duffy (2-4) gave up five runs and nine hits over six innings in his fourth start since he began filling in for Bruce Chen, who has a sore back. The 25-year-old left-hander was coming off a 1-0 victory against Baltimore.

Angels reliever Sean Burnett made his first big league appearance since May 26, 2013, after undergoing surgery on Aug. 7 to repair in his left elbow. He retired Eric Hosmer on a grounder to second base for the final out of the eighth inning.

Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain robbed David Freese of a three-run homer in the seventh before C.J. Cron followed with an RBI single for the Angels to make it 6-1.

The Angels took a 2-1 lead in the second when Iannetta hit his fourth homer of the season with one out and No. 9 hitter Collin Cowgill hit a two-out RBI single.

Trout, who sat out his first game of the season on Wednesday because of a sore left hamstring, gave Wilson a little more breathing room with his ninth home run leading off the third. The Angels extended the margin to 5-1 in the sixth on Eric Aybar’s RBI single and a run-scoring double by Grant Green.
