Mike Trout homered for the third time in two games and combined with Jo Adell and Jorge Soler for three consecutive homers in a span of five pitches off Ryan Weathers in the first inning, leading the Los Angeles Angels to a 7-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday.
Trout hit a 2-1 fastball and sent the ball toward the loading dock adjacent to Monument Park in center field. Adell hit another fastball on the next pitch to the visitors’ bullpen in left-center field.
Three pitches later, Cuban Soler fired a 2-0 fastball into the left field stands.
Trout homered for the third consecutive at-bat, having hit the ball out of the park in the sixth and eighth innings of Monday’s 11-10 loss.
Los Angeles hit three home runs in a row for the first time since June 24, 2023, in Colorado, condemning the Yankees to their sixth loss in seven games.
Reid Detmers (1-1) allowed one run and four hits in just over seven innings. He walked none and struck out nine — all on breaking pitches.
Former Yankee Oswald Peraza hit a home run in the fourth inning and had three hits. Cuban Yoán Moncada hit a two-run single in the sixth and opened the eighth with a home run off Dominican Yerry de los Santos, who had just been called up again.
Weathers (0-2) allowed five runs, five hits and four home runs — the most of his career — in just over five innings, during which he struck out 10.
