An epic milestone and an emotional finale colored the Angels-Rockies game on Saturday night at Coors Field.
Mike Trout, the Angels’ future Hall of Famer, hit the 400th home run of his career, crushing reliever Jaden Hill’s 3-1, 97.8 mph fastball 485 feet to left-center. The homer was the fireworks to the Angels’ 3-0 victory.
The Rockies’ record slid to 42-113, and they were shut out for the 17th time this season. They loaded the bases in the ninth against Angels right-hander Luis García, but he induced Jordan Beck to ground into a third-to-first double play.
Trout became the 59th member of Major League Baseball’s 400 home run club.
