Our next adventure on the Mike Trout home run daily brings us to May 21, 2017, the final game of a three-game weekend set against the Mets.
The Angels were smarting after losses in the first two games of the series, trying to avoid a sweep on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. A fast start boded well for the Halos on this day, beginning with an intentional walk of Trout in the first inning, with runners on second and third base and nobody out. Trout has been intentionally walked 100 times in his career, understandable given his status as baseball’s best player.
