Mike Trout homers again Thursday in rout of Yankees
by David Leisering | Angels Correspondent | Fri, Apr 17th 8:26am EDT
Mike Trout capped off a remarkable four-game series in Yankee Stadium by going 1-for-2 with three runs scored, a solo home run, and three walks in the Angels' 11-4 win over New York on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact:
Trout hit a 446-foot blast off of Yankee reliever, Angel Chivilli, for his fifth home run in the four-game series. He became the fourth player to hit five home runs in a series against the Yankees, joining Jimmie Foxx (1933), Darrell Evans (1985), and George Bell (1990). However, Trout was the first player ever to hit five homers in a series in the Bronx. He finished the set by going 6-for-16 with eight runs scored, five home runs, and nine runs batted in. Trout now has a six-game hitting streak and is batting .391 (9-for-23) during the stretch, raising his average from .174 to .246 and his slugging percentage from .326 to .594. Trout becomes other-worldly when he gets on a heater and he is on one right now. We'll see if it was just Yankee pitching, or if it carries over into the series against San Diego which begins Friday.
