Mike Trout Crushes 400th Home Run to Halt Angels’ 8-Game Slide

The 485-foot Coors Field shot off Jaden Hill made him one of two active players with 400 career homers.

Overview

  • Trout’s milestone came on a Statcast-projected 485-foot solo homer in the eighth inning off a 98 mph sinker, stretching the lead to 3-0 in Denver.
  • The Angels snapped their eight-game losing streak with a 3-0 win over the Rockies at Coors Field.
  • He is the 59th player to reach 400, the 20th to hit his first 400 with one franchise, and the third to do so while wearing an Angels uniform.
  • Kyle Hendricks delivered seven scoreless innings in his 300th career start, and Luis García recorded the save.
  • The fan who caught the ball returned it, received signed bats and balls, and played a brief game of catch with Trout.
