Trout hit his latest homer with one out in the seventh inning when he sent a 2-2 slider from reliever Angel Chivilli about halfway up the left field bleachers for a 7-4 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Trout homered in his fifth straight game at Yankee Stadium and became the fourth to hit five homers in a series against the Yankees. The others were Jimmie Foxx (1933), Darrell Evans (1985) and George Bell (1990), according to MLB researcher Sarah Langs.<\/p>\n<p>Trout\u2019s latest homer contributed to a rare loss for the Yankees when Judge and Giancarlo Stanton homer in the same game. Including the postseason, New York is 53-8 when the duo both connect.<\/p>\n<p>Jo Adell added a grand slam in the eighth for the Angels, who lead the AL with 32 homers.<\/p>\n<p>Judge hit his 89th career first-inning homer and Stanton hit a two-run shot to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead in the fourth before the Angels scored four runs in the sixth off Max Fried (2-1) and Fernando Cruz. Ben Rice also homered in the sixth.<\/p>\n<p>Trout walked three times and scored the tying run in a four-run sixth on a double by former Yankee Oswald Peraza, who also hit a two-run homer in the first.<\/p>\n<p>Vaughn Grissom hit a go-ahead RBI single, and Josh Lowe hit a two-run single for a 6-3 lead.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees lost for the seventh time in nine games and Fried allowed five runs and three hits in 5 1\/3 innings. Manager Aaron Boone was ejected for the first time this season after New York batted in the eighth.<\/p>\n<p>Brent Suter opened the game and went two-plus innings. Sam Aldegheri (1-0) allowed a run in 1 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<p>Angels: Jos\u00e9 Soriano (4-0, 0.33 ERA), the AL leader in wins, starts the opener of a three-game series at home against the Padres on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Yankees: RHP Cam Schlittler (2-1, 2.49) opposes Kansas City RHP Michael Wacha (2-0, 0.43) in the opener of a three-game series Friday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Mike Trout hit his fifth homer of the series and the Los Angeles Angels&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":677187,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2390],"tags":[1797,106,11477,291,85796,5,731,1549,20455,45551,8635,8098,310,9120,2179,3508,1397,1165,446,3223,774,56,3224,3222,108,5169,603,4,1841,9500,9501,9496,9497,39138,22858,22859,20793,1939,1229],"class_list":{"0":"post-677186","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-angels","8":"tag-aaron-boone","9":"tag-aaron-judge","10":"tag-angel-chivilli","11":"tag-angels","12":"tag-angels-yankees-score-trout","13":"tag-baseball","14":"tag-ben-rice","15":"tag-brent-suter","16":"tag-cam-schlittler","17":"tag-darrell-evans","18":"tag-fernando-cruz","19":"tag-george-bell","20":"tag-giancarlo-stanton","21":"tag-jimmie-foxx","22":"tag-jo-adell","23":"tag-jose-soriano","24":"tag-josh-lowe","25":"tag-la","26":"tag-la-angels","27":"tag-laangels","28":"tag-los-angeles","29":"tag-los-angeles-angels","30":"tag-losangeles","31":"tag-losangelesangels","32":"tag-max-fried","33":"tag-michael-wacha","34":"tag-mike-trout","35":"tag-mlb","36":"tag-oswald-peraza","37":"tag-package-100024-ap-online","38":"tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","39":"tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","40":"tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","41":"tag-product-40776-ap-california-sports-only","42":"tag-product-40802-ap-new-york-city-sports-only","43":"tag-product-40803-ap-new-york-state-sports-only","44":"tag-sam-aldegheri","45":"tag-sarah-langs","46":"tag-vaughn-grissom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=677186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/677187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=677186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=677186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=677186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
