Mike Trout crushes another Yankee Stadium homer, his fifth in four games
NEW YORK (AP) --- Mike Trout homered for the fifth time during a four-game
series at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, crushing a 446-foot drive in the seventh
inning for the Los Angeles Angels.
The three-time MVP joined Jimmie Foxx (1933), Darrell Evans (1985) and George
Bell (1990) as the fourth player with five homers in a series against the
Yankees, according to MLB researcher Sarah Langs. Trout homered twice on Monday
before going deep again in the following two games.
In the series finale Thursday, Trout drove a 2-2 slider from reliever Angel
Chivilli about halfway up the left field bleachers to give the Angels a 7-4
lead.
Trout is 6 for 16 with five homers and nine RBIs in the series. He also has
homered in his last five games at Yankee Stadium.
Trout is hitting .246 with seven homers and 16 RBIs. He is 9 for 27 (.333) with
five homers and 13 RBIs on the Angels' road trip, which coincides with him
making a mechanical tweak.
Trout's career-high homer streak is seven games, achieved Sept. 4-12, 2022.
