NEW YORK — Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout delivered another thunderous blast at Yankee Stadium Thursday, launching his fifth home run across the four-game series with a towering 446-foot shot in the seventh inning.
The slugging outfielder became just the fourth player in baseball history to connect for five home runs during a single series against the Yankees, joining an exclusive group that includes Jimmie Foxx (1933), Darrell Evans (1985), and George Bell (1990), according to MLB statistics expert Sarah Langs. Trout’s power surge began Monday with two home runs, followed by additional long balls in each of the next two contests.
During Thursday’s series conclusion, the three-time Most Valuable Player launched a 2-2 slider from Yankees reliever Angel Chivilli deep into the left field bleachers, propelling the Angels to their 7-4 advantage.
Throughout the four-game stretch, Trout posted impressive numbers with six hits in 16 at-bats, collecting nine runs batted in alongside his five home runs. His hot streak at the Bronx ballpark now extends to five consecutive games with a homer.
For the season, Trout maintains a .246 batting average with seven home runs and 16 RBIs. During the Angels’ current road swing, he’s batting .333 with nine hits in 27 at-bats, driving in 13 runs with five homers after implementing a mechanical adjustment to his swing.
Trout’s personal record for consecutive games with home runs stands at seven, which he accomplished during a stretch from September 4-12 in 2022.
