Mike Trout added two more milestones to his Hall of Fame résumé with one swing during Saturday’s 10-9 win against the Houston Astros.
With his third-inning home run against Brandon Bielak, Trout reached 300 for his already storied career. With the same home run, Trout also became the Los Angeles Angels all-time home run leader, passing Tim Salmon.
Trout is in his tenth MLB season. He reached the 300 milestone in just 1,235 career games. Salmon played his entire 14-year career with the Angels, hitting 299 home runs in 1,672 games between 1992 and 2006.
