It was the top of the fourth inning. The Seattle Mariners led the Los Angeles Angels 2-1. The Halos were fighting for a playoff spot and Jesus Montero was at the plate. The pitch count was 2-2 when he launched a ball deep to center that looked like a no-doubter off the bat.But Mike Trout, the 2014 American League MVP, thought he still might have a chance.As soon as he hit it, I thought it was gone. Seeing it, he did hit it high. I knew he barreled it. I just told myself get to the wall, see if it was going over by a lot, Trout told ESPN.com recently, recalling the play. The only chance I had was to tell myself to climb and it was, as a kid, one of those things you wanted to do -- climb the wall and take a home run. It was just like a perfect opportunity to go up there, and when I climbed the wall, just have a chance to reach up.According to MLBs Statcast, his first step was made in 0.56 seconds. He ramped up to a maximum speed of 17.4 mph. He covered 88.4 feet while the ball was airborne, with a route efficiency rating of 97.7 percent. When he reached the wall, he angled his cleats into the green padding and hoisted his left knee into the air, outstretching his left arm to snag the ball at the 396-feet marker with virtually his whole torso elevated above the wall.Since his MLB debut on July 8, 2011, Trout has nine home run robberies, the most of any major league player, according to research from ESPN Stats and Information. But the one against Montero stands out because of the level of precision it required.He seemed to have done everything perfectly, which was essential. Even if he had gauged the balls trajectory and timed everything correctly, there remained plenty of margin for error.Its something where you climb the wall, and if youre not in the right spot, youre a foot to the right or to the left, but everything was perfect. I got up to it, reached as far as I can and caught it.Trout came down with the ball, sending the crowd into an absolute frenzy and prompting in-game announcers to proclaim: That might be one of the most amazing plays you ever see at a baseball game! while chuckling in giddy excitement.Trout, for the most part, was pretty subdued. He tried to suppress a smile, chomping exaggeratedly on his gum. He allowed himself to let out one brief exclamation and pointed to a teammate. Still, it was obvious he was amped.It was pretty insane. It was just one of them ones where youre just like Wow. Obviously one of the best catches I ever made, Trout said. We messed around with it in [batting practice], but in the game, we never really have the situation where Ive had the opportunity. It was just one of those moments that happened in the game, a big moment and it saved the three runs.For as memorable as it was for Trout, it was just as much so for Montero, though the play surely evoked an entirely different set of feelings. He was good-natured about it, though, and gave Trout credit where credit was due.He came up to me the next time we played em, and we were joking around with it, Montero said. Like I said, everything was perfect, getting back to the wall, jumping up, climbing up, positioning and obviously the ball was catchable.Trout has given consideration to which he prefers: hitting a home run himself, which he has done plenty of times, or robbing someone else of a surefire home run, as he did with Montero last season.It depends on the situation, he said. Obviously, people ask me: What would you rather do, hit a home run or rob someone of a home run? But I think a walkoff home run is a lot more special. Yeah, your teammates at home plate celebrating waiting for you, pretty special.Though this particular play still qualifies, too.It was a special moment for me in my career, Trout said.

Vancouver overcame an early deficit for the second straight game Wednesday in defeating Chivas USA 3-1 in Major League Soccer play. The Whitecaps (6-5-4) posted their second consecutive win, something they had not done since the first two games of the season, and moved ahead of the Los Angeles Galaxy into fifth place in the Western Conference. Camilo paced the Whitecaps with two goals, including the winner, after Tristan Bowen opened the scoring early for Chivas (3-9-2), which has not won since beating Vancouver on March 30. "Its been a good run and its been a huge past couple games," said defender Jordan Harvey, who scored his third goal in four game for Vancouver. "It puts us in playoff contention, and we just need to keep picking up points." The Whitecaps have won four of six games and appear to have overcome a tendency of squandering leads. They have rebounded strongly after settling for disappointing draws to Portland in league play and Montreal in the final of the Amway Canadian Championship. Harvey, meanwhile, is just glad to contribute offensively. "I dont really know how to explain it," Harvey said of his scoring outburst. "Chances seem to fall right to me, and Im fortunate to put them in." Added Whitecaps coach Martin Rennie: "Hes just got a great work ethic. Hes just fantastically fit, and can go up and down that line all day, and we encourage him to get forward." Camilo extended his scoring streak to three games and matched the seven goals he produced all of last season. "Ive been training harder, and doing a better job of positioning myself," said Camilo, who also assisted on Harveys goal. But Rennie said another key reason has also factored into his success. "Hes always been a talented player," said Rennie. "Hes always been a danger in front of goal, but I think hes become much more of a team player, where he creates opportunities for other people, where hes all about the entire group and all about the club. Because of that, more opportunities have come his way." The game was turned on its head in first-half added time when Harvey and Camilo scored two minutes apart to give the Whitecaps a 2-1 lead. Chivas saw its winless skid extended to nine games despite making an early impression on new coach Jose Luis Real, who made his MLS coaching debut after taking over from the fired Jose Luis Sanchez Sola. Bowen opened the scoring in the seventh minute from the ttop right side of the Vancouver box off a deflection.dddddddddddd Harvey evened the score in the second minute of first-half added time when he put shot off Chivas defender Carlos Borja after Camilo inadvertently flicked on a pass from Russell Teibert. Harvey also scored in Saturdays 4-3 victory over New England, when the Whitecaps overcame a 2-0 deficit, and has seen his playing time increased since veteran defender Alain Rochat was traded to D.C. United. Two minutes after Harveys goal, Camilo took a pass from Teibert, sidestepped a Chivas defender and fired a low shot into the left corner of the net. The goal Camilo extended his scoring streak to three games and matched the seven goals he produced all of last season. He completed the scoring in the 81st minute, firing a shot off a defender after Harveys rebound off a Chivas player came out to him. Rennie credited Harvey for showing determination after adversity. "Hes mentally tough, and I think thats a characteristic that weve got in this team," said Rennie "Theres been games when weve not played so well or moments when things have gone our way, but weve kept going, and I think that Jordan recognizes that, and I think our team recognizes that, too." Meanwhile, Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy said his club is continuing to find its way. "It felt like we really lost this game in those three minutes (at the end of the first half)," said Kennedy, who added the crowd of 16,130 at B.C. Place Stadium was a factor on Camilos deceive goal. "That second goal came off just a technical mistake and the (Whitecaps) were flying," he said. "Thats part of having the home-field advantage. The fans are, obviously, phenomenal here." The outcome was not in doubt in the second half as the Whitecaps controlled play throughout with their past tendency to give up leads barely a thought. "The second half, I dont think we got going as much as we should have to really be a threat scoring a goal," said Kennedy. Notes: Teiberts two assists extended his club-record streak to four games. He did not record any points in his first two MLS seasons. ... Before the game, a moment of silence was held for late Chivas under-17/under-18 team captain Julio Chavez.
