Mike Trout Blasts 400th Home Run as Angels Stop 8-Game Slide in Denver

The 485-foot shot made him the 59th member of MLB’s 400-homer club and one of only two active players at that mark alongside Giancarlo Stanton.

Overview

  • Trout’s milestone came in the eighth inning on a 98 mph sinker from Rockies reliever Jaden Hill, extending Los Angeles’ lead in a 3-0 win at Coors Field.
  • Statcast measured the drive at 485 feet, the 10th-longest tracked at Coors Field since 2015.
  • Kyle Hendricks threw seven scoreless innings in his 300th career start, while Taylor Ward (No. 34) and Nolan Schanuel (No. 11) also homered.
  • Trout is the third player to reach 400 while in an Angels uniform and joins Stanton as the only active players with 400 or more career homers.
  • A fan identified as Alberto returned the home run ball, received signed bats and balls, and played catch with Trout after the game.
