Overview
- Trout’s solo shot to left-center came in the eighth inning off a 98 mph sinker from Rockies reliever Jaden Hill and was Statcast-projected at 485 feet, the 10th-longest at Coors Field since 2015.
- Los Angeles won 3-0 as Kyle Hendricks delivered seven scoreless innings in his 300th career start, with earlier solo homers from Taylor Ward and Nolan Schanuel providing support.
- He becomes one of only two active players with 400 or more home runs, joining Giancarlo Stanton, who hit his 450th earlier Saturday.
- The milestone lands during a down year for Trout, who is batting .229 with 22 home runs and 59 RBIs after recent injury-shortened seasons, and had just one homer in his previous 36 games.
- Trout is the third player to reach 400 while in an Angels uniform and the 20th to hit his first 400 homers with a single franchise.
