Mike Trout takes part in 6th back-to-back-to-back HR sequence of career as Angels surge past Yankees

Mike Trout’s sustained excellence has often been hidden behind the mediocrity of the team he’s starred for over the past decade and a half. But there are times when he’s afforded the spotlight his talent deserves. A trip to New York to play the Yankees this week paved the way for more of those opportunities, and Trout has made the most of them, reminding the world of his Hall of Fame trajectory.

In the top of the first inning Tuesday, the three-time AL MVP and 11-time All-Star hit his third home run in two days, and his fifth of the young season. The 34-year-old took a 94-mph four-seam fastball from Ryan Weathers on a 432-foot ride well over the center-field wall in Yankee Stadium. He accounted for the first of three straight Angels homers that jumpstarted their 7-1 victory.

Trout has now taken part in a back-to-back-to-back home-run sequence six times in his 16-season career, according to MLB. com’s Sarah Langs , who cited Elias Sports and noted that Trout is tied with Adrián Beltré and J. D.
