Angels News: Mike Trout Sounds Off On Latest Feat in Tuesday's Win
Between both Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, it must be super hard for data-keepers to to watch out for every single record the two of them break. In Trout's case, it seems like LA has found a great method when it comes it keeping him healthy and he has been able to produce at an elite level due to it.
Taking a look at Tuesday's win over the Boston Red Sox, Mickey Moniak got the Halos started with his third leadoff homer of the year. But Trout always sees one of his teammates go deep and immediately wants to join the party at some point in the game.
Things were no different here as the 31-year-old slugger connected on a dinger in the eighth inning and that wound up being his 361st of his career.
This home run actually tied Trout with the legendary Joe DiMaggio at number 85 on the all-time list. Next time he sends one out of the park, which probably won't be long from now, he will pass him up!
But Trout was super happy to know that he was being mentioned in the same breath as someone who won three MVP's, nine championships, and 10 pennants.
Mike Trout on tying Joe DiMaggio on the all-time home runs list: "It means a lot. Just to be there with the greats, it's really special, especially another center fielder."

LA now holds a 27-23 record on the year thus far and it's largely been due to the play of Trout. He hasn't been to the playoffs since 2014 and looks to finally break the drought this season.
