Mike Trout has 3 home runs in the first 4 games of the season

Mike Trout’s monumental start to the season continues: He hit two solo homers as the Los Angeles Angels rallied from an early four-run deficit to beat the Miami Marlins 7-4 on Monday, with the offensive waking up to back-up Trout’s efforts.

Trout’s second shot – a 473-foot blast in the sixth – landed in the walkway high above the wall in left-centerfield. It was the 26th multihomer game of Trout’s and the two blasts put him at 371 in his career, surpassing Gil Hodges for 81st on the all-time list.

OH MY MIKE TROUT 😳

Trout’s bid for a third homer ended when Miami reliever Tanner Scott (0-2) walked him to load the bases in the eighth. Brandon Drury then reached on a fielder’s choice that scored Anthony Rendon from third and snapped a 4-4 tie.

The Angels padded their lead in the ninth on Jo Adell’s RBI single and a balk by reliever Anthony Bender that scored Adell from third. Trout grounded out to third to end the inning.

The Angels improved their season to .500, with a 2-2 record for the start of the season.

Mike Trout’s revenge tour started?

It’s still too early to tell if Mike Trout will return to his former MVP status, especially with the Angels losing Shohei Ohtani in the past offseason and Trout showing his loyalty to the franchise.

In just four games, Mike Trout has already hit three home runs and has a .286/.333/.929 slash line. He’s currently the best hitter in the Angels lineup, as he has always been, even with Shohei Ohtani on the team.
