“He throws really hard and changes speeds on his fastball,” Trout said of Salazar. “As a starter, you’re supposed to be able to go at least five innings,” Huff said. Trout said he asked Indians first baseman Carlos Santana, who hit two home runs Sunday, whether Uribe wore a protective cup. An injury-marred Angels season went from bleak to potentially unwatchable in the eighth inning of Sunday’s 8-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians, when star center fielder Mike Trout took a 93-mph fastball from Tommy Hunter off the right thumb and was pulled from the game. The Angels have 10 players, including their two best starting pitchers, Garrett Richards and Andrew Heaney, on the disabled list.
