Trout ties Salmon's Angels career HR record with No. 299
ANAHEIM, Calif. Mike Trout tied Tim Salmon's career record for home runs with the Angels, connecting for No. Trout drove a sinker from Houston's Lance McCullers Jr. over the wall in center for a two-run shot. The 29-year-old Trout is a three-time AL MVP and won the award last season. Trout was the 25th overall pick in the 2009 MLB draft and made his big league debut in 2011. Salmon played his entire 14-year career with the Angels from 1992 to 2006 and was part of their only World Series championship in 2002.

The Angels (3-6) lost two of their first three games without Trout.
AL MVP Trout still doesn't feel comfortable about this year
I have to be really cautious.โThe three-time AL MVP continues to have discussions with general manager Billy Eppler and manager Joe Maddon. Trout rarely took off his mask and maintained social distancing throughout the two-hour workout at Angel Stadium. Trout said he talks to his wife every night as they continue to figure out what is best. For now, the main thing that Trout and Maddon are stressing is that everyone has to be accountable for their actions. Obviously you heard the comments from (Commissioner Rob) Manfred the other day that their whole intentions was to play 60 games," Trout said.
