ANAHEIM -- Mike Trout launched his MLB lead-tying 19th homer of the season to get the Angels on the board in the first inning against the Rangers on Saturday.
Rangers starter Cole Hamels offered Trout exclusively four-seam fastballs during the at-bat, and after taking the first three, the two-time MVP launched a solo shot 418 feet to left field at an exit velocity of 105 mph, per Statcast™.
Trout hit a standup triple in his second at-bat in the third inning, a ball that deflected off left fielder Joey Gallo's glove and rolled along the warning track.
