Mike Trout refused to let the Angels go down quietly Saturday when he stepped in against Rays fireballer Ryne Stanek with his team down, 5-1, in the ninth.
On an 0-1 count, Trout turned on a 98.5 mph fastball from Stanek and deposited it a projected 430 feet into the left-field stands for his 14th home run of the season. It's the fastest pitch Trout has taken deep in his Major League career, surpassing a 98.2 mph heater thrown by Royals reliever Kelvin Herrera on May 15, 2013. Despite Trout's heroics, the Angels eventually fell to the Rays, 5-3.
