Christian Yelich had nothing else to do but tip his cap after being bested by his fellow MVP on Monday night.
Yelich drove a pitch from Los Angeles Angels starter Trevor Cahill deep to center to lead off the top of the third. Trout went back and robbed Yelich of a potential home run:

Yelich may have been bothered about losing an extra-base hit but had a sportsmanlike response:

That’s pretty much what is required to get Yelich out at this point. The reigning NL MVP is batting .361 with an outrageous .889 slugging percentage this season.
