DENVER (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels acquired veteran infielder Mike Moustakas from Colorado moments after their 25-1 victory over the Rockies. The Rockies got minor league right-hander Connor Van Scoyoc, who was 4-3 with a 2.76 ERA in 11 starts at Class A Tri-City this season. Moustakas hit .270 with four homers and 17 RBIs in 47 games with the Rockies after joining them in spring training. The trade marks a return home for the Los Angeles native, who hasn’t played farther west than Colorado in his 12-year MLB career. The Angels have lost infielders Anthony Rendon, Gil Urshela and Zach Neto to injuries in the last two weeks.
