ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Trout hit for the cycle and drove in five runs, Josh Hamilton celebrated his 32nd birthday with a homer and a triple, and Howie Kendrick also went deep in the Los Angeles Angels' 12-0 rout of the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.
Trout, last season's AL rookie of the year and MVP runner-up, became the sixth player in Angels history to complete the cycle and the first to do it since Chone Figgins on Sept. 16, 2006, at Texas.
After taking a called third strike his first time up, Trout reached on an infield single in the third inning, hit an RBI triple in the fourth and added a three-run double in the sixth before homering in the eighth on a 2-0 pitch from Lucas Luetge.

Jerome Williams (3-1) scattered six hits over eight innings, struck out six and walked two while helping send the Mariners to their season-high fifth straight loss. The right-hander, who was lifted after 107 pitches, got one more run of support as he did in his three-previous starts this season combined.
The Bruins' fourth line is really a third line for most teams, something the Rangers are learning all too well this series, writes James Murphy. 
Down 3-0 after another tough loss, Rangers forward Brian Boyle says, "We're not done by any means," writes Katie Strang. 
Vinny Del Negro is out as the Clippers' head coach. Should the team have kept him on?
