Pinch hitter Raul Ibañez hit a three-run double in the eighth inning yesterday to help the Los Angeles Angels defeat the host Washington Nationals, 4-2.

"After he got that hit, we were calling him 'Viejo' -- 'Old' in Spanish," Mike Trout, 22, said of the 41-year-old Ibañez.

Ibañez leads the Angels with 15 RBIs. "These guys make me feel young," he said. "And I have five kids at home. They're 12 and under, and I'm the biggest kid in the house, really. I feel right at home around these guys who are 22, 24, 25 years old. They definitely keep you young."
