CF Mike Trout was back in the starting lineup Wednesday against the A's after missing the first two games of the series with a sore neck. He went into the game hitless in his previous 17 at-bats, but ended the streak with a home run in his first at-bat, No. 27 on the season. He also tripled, singled and walked before going into the eighth inning needing a double to hit for the cycle. Trout lined a sharp single to right field, but the ball was hit too hard and hit right at right fielder to give Trout a opening to stretch it into a double. "It was definitely in the back of my mind, for sure," Trout said of the cycle. "Just happy I hit it hard. I'm happy I had good at-bats tonight." Trout has hit for the cycle once in his career -- May 21, 2013 vs. Seattle.
