A cubist interpretation of Angels star Mike Trout on the verge of making MLB history against the Yankees.San Diego Today
Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout will have a chance to make notable MLB history during the team’s upcoming four-game series against the New York Yankees. Trout needs just one more home run to tie Hall of Famer Duke Snider for 58th on the all-time home run list with 407 career homers.
Why it matters
Trout is one of the greatest players of his generation and is on a clear path to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Reaching this historic milestone would further cement his legacy as one of the all-time greats, and provide a bright spot for the Angels as they look to climb the standings in the competitive AL West.
The details
Trout has been stuck at 406 home runs since March 27 when he hit one against the Houston Astros. The future Hall of Famer is clearly due to hit one out of the park soon, and the series against the Yankees provides the perfect opportunity. Trout is currently batting .208 with two home runs, seven RBIs, 13 runs, and two stolen bases in 15 games this season.
- The Angels will open a four-game series against the Yankees on Monday, April 13, 2026.

What they’re saying
“Mike Trout got nailed by a Jorge Soler foul ball but stayed in the game after trainers checked on him. He would’ve been ruled out if he was standing in fair territory. Instead he ended up scoring on a sac fly to give the Angels a 5-0 lead.”

“Mike Trout last 8 games: .069 AVG 2 H 1 XBH 12 Ks He’s definitely cooled down after his hot start.”
