Mitch Moreland had two hits in his second game as San Diego’s designated hitter. Relief pitcher Dan Altavilla was activated Wednesday to join San Diego’s revamped bullpen, which now includes Trevor Rosenthal.

Tim Hill (2-0) got two outs in the seventh inning after Dinelson Lamet pitched five-hit ball with six strikeouts into the seventh for San Diego.

Trout’s two-run shot in the third was the 298th homer of his career, putting the 29-year-old superstar just one behind Tim Salmon for the Angels’ franchise record.

Profar tied it in the fourth with his sixth homer of the season, and added a tying sacrifice fly in the sixth.

Justin Upton singled in the fourth and scored on the 667th career double by Pujols, who moved one behind Craig Biggio for the fifth-most in baseball history. Pujols also became the fifth player with 5,900 total bases, joining Hank Aaron, Stan Musial, Willie Mays and Barry Bonds.

Julio Teherán yielded three hits and two runs, finally providing what the Angels sought when they signed him as a free agent. Teherán got a late start to summer camp after contracting coronavirus, but he’s rounding into form after a few rocky appearances.

“I know we’ve only got a couple of starts left, but that’s the way I want to feel for the rest of the season,” Teherán said.
