Mike Trout leading majors in home runs, but is looking for more consistency at the plate

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mike Trout is the first player in the major leagues this season to reach 10 home runs. Trout’s solo shot during the sixth inning of Wednesday’s 6-5 loss to Baltimore marked the third time since 2018 he has been the first to reach double digits in homers. “Some of the at-bats I feel really good and some of the at-bats just trying to figure some stuff out,” Trout said after Wednesday’s game. “I’m just trying to put a full game together.” Trout was batting.306 through the Halos’ first 13 games but has struggled at the plate since. Trout joined Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds and Gary Sheffield as the only players to hit at least 10 home runs in his team’s first 25 games three times.
