Mike Trout crushed a 446-foot home run in the seventh inning of Thursday’s series finale against the New York Yankees, his fifth homer in four games at Yankee Stadium.
The solo shot gave the Los Angeles Angels a 7-4 lead en route to an 11-4 victory and made Trout the first visiting player to hit five home runs in a series at the current Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009.
Trout joined an elite group with his five-homer series
Trout became only the fourth player in history to hit five home runs in a series against the Yankees, joining Jimmie Foxx (1933), Darrell Evans (1985) and George Bell (1990), according to MLB researcher Sarah Langs.
He homered twice on Monday before going deep again in each of the following two games, finishing the series 6-for-16 with five homers and nine RBIs.
His streak at Yankee Stadium reached historic levels
Trout also became the first player to homer in four consecutive days at the current Yankee Stadium and has now homered in five straight games at the ballpark dating back to 2025.
