Raining on Devo’s Homecoming Parade : Angels: Felix, Sojo get in the swing of things to outshine Blue Jays’ latest center fielder.

Yes, it was Devon White’s homecoming weekend. But two of the players on the other end of the trade that sent Devo to Toronto sat side-by-side in the Angel clubhouse Sunday, their task accomplished.

Junior Felix and Luis Sojo played their parts in dispatching their former team, which dealt them to the Angels along with a minor leaguer last December for White, reliever Willie Fraser and another minor leaguer.

Felix, the center fielder, went three for four with a run batted in the Angels’ 6-2 victory, and second baseman Sojo drove in another run with a double in a one-for-three afternoon.

It was a rare and welcome day of production from two players whose defense has far outshone their offense.

Across the room, Dave Winfield expounded on the Angels’ offense, which thrived on contributions from a varied cast.

“Everybody’s creeping up there,” Winfield said. “Check out Junior.”

Felix hit .263 with 15 homers for Toronto last season, but he has only one homer so far this season, and his average was below .200 as late as the first week in May.

With his second three-hit game of the season Sunday, his average climbed to a season-high .252.

“When you play teams, and before they traded you, you’re going to give 100% and more than that,” Felix said. “You just play harder.”

Felix, who has been nursing an upper-calf injury, returned to the lineup Friday night for the first time this home stand.

But despite his slow start with the bat, he has remained the regular center fielder. Had he started as poorly with Toronto as he has with the Angels, Felix admitted, that probably wouldn’t be the case.

“They would have played me platoon,” he said.

Angel Manager Doug Rader hasn’t done that.

“I guess when you don’t hit, you have to play good defense,” Felix said. “Doug gives me, like you know, ‘I trust you.’ I appreciate that. He says, ‘You’re gonna hit, you’re gonna hit. Don’t worry.’ ”

Sojo, whose average stands at .222, drove in the Angels’ second run with a second-inning double that scored Winfield from second.

It was a day for the Angels to look pretty on the trade.

White, who they decided in frustration would never reach his potential in Anaheim, spent much of the early part of the season batting over .300, and entered the series at .290.

But he went 0 for 3 Sunday, and one for 10 for the series, dropping his average to .277.

Fraser, the reliever involved in the trade, made an appearance Sunday, allowing only a single to Winfield in two innings.

But in the confines of a single series, the modest standout of the trade was Felix, who went six for 10 against the Blue Jays.

With another series against his former teammates coming up this weekend in Toronto, his average might get back to where he thinks it belongs.
