Mike Trout delivered a standout performance during the Los Angeles Angels four-game series against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium, reminding fans of his elite form while making history. The veteran outfielder hit five home runs and recorded nine RBIs across the series, helping the Angels secure a split against New York.
Trout Reaches Historic Four-Game Home Run Streak And Yankees Series Record
Entering the series, Trout had struggled early in the season with just two home runs and seven RBIs. However, his explosive performance in the Bronx marked a dramatic turnaround. Most notably, he became the first visiting player in history to hit a home run in four consecutive games at Yankee Stadium, a rare achievement that further cements his legacy.
Trout’s five home runs in the series also tied the record for most home runs hit against the Yankees in a single series, joining the ranks of George Bell, Darrell Evans, and Jimmie Foxx. His latest homer, a 446-foot solo shot, showcased his continued power and ability to perform under pressure.

The series began with a high-scoring game where Trout hit two home runs and drove in five runs, though the Yankees ultimately won in a walk-off. Aaron Judge also had a strong showing in that game, hitting two home runs of his own. Despite early setbacks, Trout remained consistent throughout the series, contributing key hits in each game.
Historically, Yankee Stadium has been a favorable venue for Trout. He now boasts a .346 batting average with 13 career home runs at the stadium. Including previous matchups, he has homered in five consecutive games against the Yankees at this venue, highlighting his comfort and dominance there.
Judge himself praised Trout’s performance, calling him “the greatest of all time” and acknowledging the challenge of competing against him. Trout’s resurgence is especially encouraging for the Angels, who are hoping he can stay healthy after several injury-plagued seasons.
Now sitting at a 10-10 record, the Angels are looking to build momentum as they aim for their first playoff appearance since 2014. Trout’s return to top form could be a crucial factor in their success moving forward.
