Trout Returns with Homer on Anniversary

Mike Trout marked his return from the IL with a 438-foot homer on his MLB debut anniversary, powering the Angels to an 11-0 lead against the Rangers.

Trout returned from a stint on the IL for a strained right hamstring on July 8, 2026, exactly 15 years after his MLB debut. His 438-foot homer in the eighth inning put the Angels up 11-0, coming off an 88.4 mph changeup that he shot back 22 mph faster than it arrived. newsbetting.club

Jo Adell also had a big game for the Angels, hitting two home runs, as Los Angeles went on to defeat Texas 13-1. Trout finished 1-for-4 with a walk, two runs and two RBIs, a much better performance than his 0-for-3 debut at age 19 in 2011.
