MLB: Mike Trout Defies the Green Monster with a Historic 450+ ft Home Run

Mike Trout lit up Fenway Park with a towering home run that not only fueled a Los Angeles Angels victory but also cemented his name in the MLB record books. In a narrow 7-6 win over the Boston Red Sox, Trout’s blast was one of three historic homers in the first inning, something no visiting team had ever done at Fenway in over a century.

Angels Make Fenway History in the First Inning

The Angels stunned Boston early with three home runs in the top of the first, courtesy of Mike Trout, Jo Adell, and Zach Neto. The outburst marked the first time in Fenway’s history that a visiting team launched three long balls in the opening frame. It also signaled the first time in ten years the Angels pulled off such a power display.

Among them, Trout’s homer stood out, not just for the timing but for the sheer distance.

Mike Trout’s Colossal Shot Clears the Monster

Back from the injured list for less than a week, Trout looked like his old self. He crushed a 454-foot home run over the famed Green Monster in left-center. Marking his 10th homer of the season and his 13th straight year with double-digit home runs.

According to Statcast, Angels’ Trout is now one of just three MLB players, alongside Eugenio Suárez and Kyle Schwarber, to hit multiple 450+ foot home runs this season. He’s accomplished the feat in just 33 games.

Even more remarkably, this was only his second career homer at Fenway in 35 games, and his first since 2019.

Climbing the MLB Record Books

Trout wasn’t done after his monster shot. He added singles in the third and fifth innings, notching three hits on the day. With those, he passed Angels legend Tim Salmon (1,674 hits) for second place on the franchise’s all-time hits list. Garret Anderson still leads with 2,368 hits.

Saturday’s game in Cleveland also saw Trout rack up three hits, meaning he’s recorded back-to-back three-hit games in two of his last three outings. It’s a sign the 11-time All-Star is heating up, and that could spell trouble for the rest of the league.
