Mike Trout, Jo Adell and Jorge Soler hit consecutive homers in the first inning Tuesday night for the Los Angeles Angels, who earned a 7-1 victory over the host New York Yankees.
The Angels won for the sixth time in their past nine visits to Yankee Stadium and lead the American League with 26 homers after evening the four-game series with an impressive power display against New York starter Ryan Weathers (0-2).
Trout started the barrage with one out when he slugged a 2-1 fastball 432 feet to the loading dock between Monument Park in center field and the visiting bullpen in left field. Adell homered on the next pitch when he sent a fastball 445 feet into the visiting bullpen.
Soler, who is appealing a seven-game suspension for last week's brawl against the Atlanta Braves, capped the outburst by sending a 2-0 fastball into the left field seats.
It was the first time since June 24, 2023, in Colorado that the Angels hit three straight homers. In that game, Trout, Brandon Drury and Matt Thaiss homered on consecutive pitches during a 13-run third inning in a 25-1 rout.
Trout homered in his third straight at-bat with his 409th career homer, tying Mark Teixeira for 57th on the all-time list. The three-time MVP has five this season.
Adell hit his second homer of the season and Soler hit his fifth as the Angels went deep five times for the first time since hitting six in at the Tampa Bay Rays on April 10, 2025.
Former Yankee Oswald Peraza had three hits and homered off Weathers in the fourth. The Angels also nearly homered in the third, but Vaughn Grissom saw a foul ball that just hooked foul down the right field line upheld following a crew chief's review by Lance Barksdale.
Yoan Moncada added a two-run, bases-loaded single against Paul Blackburn in the sixth, when the first five hitters reached base, and opened the eighth with a home run to right.
Los Angeles starter Reid Detmers (1-1) allowed four hits and one run over seven-plus innings. The left-hander struck out nine and walked none.
Weathers permitted five runs on five hits and two walks in five-plus innings. He gave up a career-high four homers and finished with 10 strikeouts for his third career double-digit strikeout game.
New York lost for the sixth time in seven games. The Yankees scored their lone run on a pinch-hit sacrifice fly by Ben Rice in the eighth.
