Mike Trout Home Run Streak Reaches Seven Games (The New York Times)

Trout is one game away from tying the major league record, which is shared by three players.

Of the three eight-game streaks, Mattingly’s did the most damage, with a total of 10 home runs and 21 runs batted in. But the argument was made after Mattingly matched Long in 1987 that his streak was among the more impressive accomplishments in major league history. Trout would very likely trade some home runs for a win, but even if his streak were to end on Tuesday, he is already one of only nine batters to homer in seven straight. Opinions seem to vary on how impressive it is to have a long streak of games with a home run. The Los Angeles Angels are 3-4 in the seven games, putting them 19 games below .500 for the season and 30 games out of first place in the A.L. The streak has Trout up to 35 home runs for the season and back to looking like his most dominant self.

Mike Trout on the verge of MLB record after hitting a home run in ... (CNN)

Ten-time Major League Baseball All-Star Mike Trout hit his seventh homer in seven games with a two-run drive in the fifth inning, but it wasn't enough as ...

Following the chaos, it was the Guardians who won out. And sure enough, the first pitch of that at-bat, he threw a fastball down in the zone and Trouty got it. Guardians manager Terry Francona was sent packing by the umpire crew chief when he remonstrated that Andrés Giménez was hit by a pitch. Despite Trout’s brilliance, the Angels fell to defeat against the Guardians and continued their dismal season. “I’ll come in (Tuesday) and do the same thing because it’s working for me.” “I’m just putting a good swing on the ball and they’re going out.”

I have to take this momentum and keep it going the rest of the year.” “I was just trying to prepare myself to make the right swing and time it. Ohtani also pitched in the game, allowing one run over five innings before coming out with a minor blister. “It’s pretty cool,” Trout said. His homer helped him Ohtani also homered in the seventh inning, marking the eight time the duo had homered in the same game this season and the 22nd time since they became teammates in 2018. Trout jumped all over a first-pitch fastball and was one of three Angels to homer in the game, as Mike Ford and Jo Adell also went deep. I feel fine, I feel great." ('93).
