Trout, who had not been there since Sunday, jumped on a fast 2-2 ball from Junis, putting her in the left field of the left-back. His 10th circuit of the season had an exit speed of 112.8.
mph at a launch angle of 27 degrees, according to Statcast.

"I did not really see him land," Angels manager Brad Ausmus said with a smile. "As soon as he hit, I knew he was gone, so I stopped looking."

This is the second longest Trout circuit recorded by Statcast, his best result being a 477-foot shot against left-handed Chris Rusin on July 8, 2015 at Coors Field. Trout now has the two longest Angels group circuits since the launch of Statcast in 2015. It was also the third longest circuit of the Majors this year, followed by the Nomar Mazara (482 feet) of the Rangers and Josh Bell of the Pirates. (474).

With his 250th career game, Trout became the sixth American League player to reach that record before turning 28, joining Alex Rodriguez, Jimmie Foxx, Ken Griffey Jr, Mickey Mantle and Juan Gonzalez. He is the 13th player in total to reach the goal in 27 years.

Canning, Ohtani, tall

Trout, however, was not the only Angels player to have a big night, while rookie right-hander Griffin Canning had the best performance of his young career and Shohei Ohtani hit his second circuit of the season and his first at home.

Canning, who was in his fourth career start, launched seven scoreless innings, giving only three hits and a five-strike strike. He showed an elite ability to miss the batons and caused 16 swings and misses, including four with his fast ball that reached 95.1 mph, six with his slider, four with his curve and two with his change. .

"Two things [stood out]Ausmus said, "It's the best we've seen its change since we called it. We know that the slider is the best ball that breaks and it uses curveball quite often, but we have not seen the change, especially in difficult cases. Not only to be effective with that, but to get as many swings and failures. "

Canning, whose best career record of 5 1/3 innings against the Tigers on May 7, said the key was attacking the batters with his pitchers and trusting his stuff. Canning, ranked as the club's 2nd overall prospect and 56th overall by MLB Pipeline, dropped 24 batters in 21 1/3 of a set, plus an ERA of 3.80.

"Just not to be too shy, just to let my stuff work in the area," Canning said. "I threw shots on the first pitch, I had the command of the fastball."

Ohtani helped Canning with a two-run homer in Junis' sixth game, which was hit hard in the right field. Its launch angle was 39 degrees. This is the highest angle created by an Angels player this year and the fourth highest in last year.

Ohtani now strikes .286 / .362 / .429 with two homers and eight runs produced in 10 games since returning as a designated hitter after undergoing surgery at Tommy John on Oct. 1. since his return, but it is to find his timing.

"My swing is gradually getting better at every game I play," Ohtani said through Ippei Mizuhara's interpreter. "Last night, I had a basic shot of jam in the left field. Today, I had a [pitch in the] middle and I was able to remove it for the home run. This improves day by day.
