Trout Makes Yankee Stadium History as Angels Roll 11–4 in the Bronx (Apr 16, 2026)

NEW YORK — Mike Trout walked into the seventh inning Thursday night already owning the headline, then added another chapter. His solo home run in an 11–4 Angels win over the Yankees was his fifth of a four-game series in the Bronx and capped one of the loudest road performances anyone has logged in this ballpark’s modern era.

Trout at Yankee Stadium: the record chase

Trout homered as a visitor on four straight days at the current Stadium—MLB.com reported that as a first for any visiting player across the building’s history on East 161st Street. He also matched the franchise mark for homers in a series against the Yankees, a list that runs from Jimmie Foxx to George Bell, with Trout doing his damage in New York.

Thursday, April 16, 2026: finale score and series backdrop

The series finale went final **11–4** Los Angeles. Earlier in the week, Trout and Aaron Judge had traded multi-homer theater, and the Angels had a three-homer first inning in another game, per MLB’s linked stories. Thursday stayed tight enough to matter until Los Angeles pulled away late.

Seventh inning through ninth: Statcast, the walk, and the slam

Trout’s seventh-inning shot off a 2–2 changeup left the bat at 114.6 mph and traveled a projected 446 feet to left field, per Statcast in MLB’s reporting. The Yankees intentionally walked Trout in the eighth, loading the bases for Jo Adell, who cleared them with a grand slam that broke the game open. Adell told MLB.com Trout had been locked in all series, on a night when New York did not want to pitch to him.

Trout told reporters: *“Hearing that after the game, it’s pretty surreal… Just with all the great players that came through here. So pretty cool.”* Giancarlo Stanton said: *“Cool showing from him and Judgie all series… you’ve got to acknowledge the greatness.”* Manager Kurt Suzuki pointed to Trout’s energy in the dugout, not just the long balls.

Trout, Judge, and the early AL home run race

Trout’s homer was his seventh of the year in MLB’s story, one behind Judge for the American League lead at that point. His slash line had climbed after a mechanical tweak (a slight step back before swinging) that he tied to comfort at the plate. Judge remains the natural comparison whenever these two share a city.
