Halos' first round draft pick Mike Trout played in his first Midwest League contest last night, going 1 for 2 with a single, walk and strikeout while playing left field. The Kernels won the contest, 4 to 3.
Reliever Mike Rocco, Trout's ASL teammate, pitched a scoreless 4th and 5th inning to pick up the win. Infielders Jean Almanzar and Rolando Gomez also joined Cedar Rapids from Arizona.
