Mike Trout absolutely went off on Sunday, delivering his first four-hit performance in more than five years. The dude just put on a clinic, and Angels fans are hyped to see him still climbing up the franchise history lists.
Trout Drops a 4-for-4 Masterclass
Playing against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park, Trout was locked in from the jump. He was perfect at the plate, going a ridiculous 4 for 4 in the Angels’ tight 4-3 victory. He blasted one double and laced three singles, totally dominating the box score and showing everyone he’s still got that game-changing power.
Legends Are Getting Passed
This wasn’t just a big day at the plate, though; it was a major move into the Angels’ history books. That double was his 340th career two-bagger, pushing him right past Angels legend Tim Salmon for second on the franchise’s all-time doubles list. Can you believe it? Only Garrett Anderson, with his monstrous 489, is ahead of him now. On top of that, Trout’s three singles added to his career total, putting him at 1,014. That move places him fourth on the Angels’ all-time singles list, trailing only names like Anderson (1,572), Darin Erstad (1,082), and Brian Downing (1,062). He’s chasing down serious history here.
What This Means for Trout’s Season
This monster outing marked the 21st four-hit game of Trout’s insane career, but it was his first since way back on April 26, 2021. That’s a long time for a player of his caliber to go without one. This massive day at the plate also bumped his batting average up to a respectable .247. What’s next for Trout? We’re all watching to see how many more franchise records he can shatter as this season keeps rolling. He’s a machine, and he’s not slowing down.
