Definitely pitch to him with 2 outs. It gives you two chances to get an out
(either Trout or Rendon) while still preserving the lead going into the 9th.
It gets more murky with 1 out.

Yep. Or if its a 1-2 run lead, then you walk him. 3 run lead makes it tough,

Why? You still put the tying run at bat with only 1 out. You pitch either way

with 1B open, you have the chance at a double play to get out of the inning. Its

But Trout's not the critical run. Rendon is. So the question is whether you risk
