Whether the Los Angeles Angels have enough in the tank to make a run at ending their MLB-worst postseason drought is still a complete mystery, but they have one key piece of the puzzle at the moment: a healthy and effective Mike Trout.
While Trout was up and down over the first two weeks of the season, he looked much like his old self against the New York Yankees in the Bronx this week, blasting five home runs in four days. With the hot streak, Trout became the first player to hit five home runs in a series against the Yankees, a 123-year-old organization, as a visiting player.
Trout walked out of Yankee Stadium on Thursday trailing only Aaron Judge and Jordan Walker with seven home runs on the season, a sign that he might be rounding back into form after years of injury-riddled campaigns.
