Mike Trout was not entirely pleased with reaching base in the fashion that he did during the Los Angeles Angels' home opener on Friday, April 3.
Seattle Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo threw a 95 mph pitch that hit Trout high on the shoulder in the bottom of the first inning. That came after a high pitch that made Trout duck back.
Trout was seen glancing over at Woo with a look of disapproval before making his way over to first base.

After nine scoreless innings of play, the Mariners outscored the Angels 3-1 in the 10th inning to secure the victory.
Trout told reporters that Woo apologized to him later in the game, per The Athletic.
Trout, the three-time MVP, has already produced six hits, two home runs, six runs scored and three RBI through the first seven games of the season.
Outside of the pitch to Trout, Woo had a solid outing on the mound. He allowed just one hit and a walk, while striking out six in seven innings pitched.
