On Monday night, the Los Angeles Angels will open up a four-game series with the New York Yankees in the Bronx.
The Angels are coming off a 9-6 win over the Reds on Sunday in Cincinnati.
Mike Trout finished the victory with two hits, one walk and three runs in four at-bats.

During the series against the Yankees, Trout will have a chance to make notable MLB history.
He needs just one home run to tie Hall of Famer Duke Snider (407) for 58th on the all-time list.
Trout has been stuck at 406 home runs since March 27 when he hit one against the Houston Astros (in Texas).
Therefore, the future Hall of Famer is clearly due to hit one out of the park soon.
Jomboy Media wrote during Sunday’s game: “Mike Trout got nailed by a Jorge Soler foul ball but stayed in the game after trainers checked on him
He would’ve been ruled out if he was standing in fair territory. Instead he ended up scoring on a sac fly to give the Angels a 5-0 lead”
Trout had gotten off to a very strong start to the season, but he recently went through a big slump.
SleeperAngels wrote (on April 9): “Mike Trout last 8 games: .069 AVG 2 H 1 XBH 12 Ks He’s definitely cooled down after his hot start.”
As a whole, Trout is currently batting .208 with two home runs, seven RBI’s, 13 runs and two stolen bases in 15 games this season.
Angels Right Now
The Angels come into their series with the Yankees as the third-place team in the American League West with an 8-8 record in 16 games.
They are 5-5 in the ten games they have played on the road.
After the Yankees, the Angels will return home to host the San Diego Padres on April 17 in California.
Trout has been with the Angels for his entire 16-year career.
Despite being one of the best 50 players of all time, the Angels have only made the MLB playoffs one time during his career (2014).
