ANAHEIM – Mike Trout continues to amaze and Sunday afternoon, he accomplished something he had never done before.

Trout scored for the fifth time in four games, scoring a two-point shot past Rangers reliever Kyle Bird in the sixth inning of a 7-2 win at Angel Stadium. It helped the Angels earn their third straight win and their first win in 2019.

This is the second time in his career in Trout that he has dominated in four consecutive games – he has also done it from May 12 to 15, 2017 – but he had never managed five homers in the last four games. four-game space. The club record for most consecutive games on a circuit is five with Bobby Bonds from August 2 to 7, 1977.

"I think it's just knowing you're in a good place to hit when you get up there, being in the right position, barefoot," Trout said. "Now, I really look when I'm fine – where I am, what is my configuration – and I try to always go to the plates and find that. It worked, obviously, the latest games. "

In the four-game series, Trout beat .545 (six to 11) with five homers, nine RBIs, six walks and one shot at goal. He reached the base safely in 13 of his 18 appearances on the plate. Trout awarded a video session to coaches coaches, Jeremy Reed and Shawn Wooten, as he watched the replicas of his five-shot match at Yankee Stadium on May 26 when he set a record in career with 11 goals in total.

"I'm trying to put myself and my body in this position every time, and it's been good so far," Trout said. "It worked. I just have to stick to it.

This is the fourth time a Halos player has five homers in a series of four games or less. Trout joins Vladimir Guerrero (2004 vs. Texas), Garret Anderson (2003 vs. Montreal) and Doug DeCinces (1982 vs. Minnesota).

Carlos Delgado, John Mayberry and Adrian Gonzalez are the only other players to have scored five home runs in a four-game series against the Rangers. Trout is also the fifth player and first player in the American League to score five home runs in his club's first four home games, joining Gonzalez (2015), Chase Utley (& 10), Lou Brock (1967) and Eddie Mathews (58 58), according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

"There is nothing missing," said Chris Woodward, Rangers coach. "He seems to have only one or two shots per game and he hits them."

The last circuit of Trout was completely crushed. He had an exit speed of 112.9 mph and jumped a projected distance of 422 feet in 4.1 seconds, by Statcast. This is Trout's seventh-worst hit circuit since the launch of Statcast in 2015. His best personal score on a circuit is 115 mph against the previous right-handed Mariners, Ryan Cook, on June 11, 2018.

"That does not really surprise me," said Brad Ausmus, head of the Angels, about the Trout blast. "But I said that sometimes, Trout will be the biggest part of our attack, but we need every day that six or seven guys help to score points."

Trout went into the series without a point, but he managed a low shot on Thursday, two more solo explosions on Friday and a grand slam Saturday before his two-run homerun on Sunday. Trout now has five home runs in 10 games, which is the fastest of the five circuits to open a season in his career. His previous best was 14 games in 2014 and 18.

"Mike is the best player in the world," said reliever Justin Anderson, who managed to come out of a laden stuff with no one in the fifth. "No doubt about that one."

Trout was offensive Friday and Saturday, but his teammates helped him on Sunday. The Halos scored four points in the second against right-hander Shelby Miller after charging the goals without anyone outside. Zack Cozart was injured at the rally, however. He was hit by a throw with the bases loaded and suffered a bruise on his left forearm. X-rays were negative.

"It's pretty stiff right now," said Cozart, who hopes to avoid the list of injured. "I could not swing a bat, that's why I went out, he blocked me, he stiffened up to my wrist."

The right-field player, Brian Goodwin, also dominated on seventh goal, reaching the grbad area beyond the bushes in the center field. Solo shooter Shawn Kelley crossed a projected distance of 453 feet, according to Statcast, and left the bat at 107.9 mph. It was the seventh longest circuit of the Majors this season and the second longest circuit of an Angels player behind Trout's 458-foot Grand Slam on Saturday.

"I just looked for a lot that I could handle," Goodwin said. "Kelley is actually one of my former teammates, so I have a little bit of advantage of knowing the repertoire before entering the surface."
