DENVER — The Los Angeles Angels got started early and then kept piling on the runs. The only question was how many they’d finish with.

Mike Trout, Brandon Drury and Matt Thaiss hit homers on consecutive pitches to open a 13-run third inning, and Mickey Moniak capped it win a two-run homer in the Angels’ record-setting 25-1 rout of the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.

They set franchise marks for runs, hits (28) and margin of victory in a game and tied team records for runs and homers with their huge third inning.

The margin of victory was tied for the third-highest in the majors since 1900, behind the Texas Rangers’ 30-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in 2007 and a 29-4 victory for the Boston Red Sox over the St. Louis Browns in 1950.

“We were aggressive,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said. “We attacked pitches in the zone. Hitting gets contagious at times. Big boys get into something like that (in the third), it fires up the clubhouse.”
