Mike Trout ties Joe DiMaggio on home run list: 'Means a lot'

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Trout is going to tie and pass many greats on his climb up the home run list. Yet, there is something special when for a couple days you can say you are tied with The Yankee Clipper.

Trout's two-run homer in the eighth inning of Tuesday night's 4-0 win over the Boston Red Sox is the 361st of his career, which ties him with Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio for 85th.

The three-time AL MVP said he didn't know he tied DiMaggio until teammate Mickey Moniak told him in the Angels' clubhouse after the game.
