Neto, Trout, and Adair hit Fenway's 100-year record in back-to-back first games Angel Rick Red Sox

In the first game of the series against the Red Sox on Tuesday morning (Boston local time), the Angels scored three home runs in the first inning with Zach Neto, Mike Trout and Jo Adell, setting a record for the first time since Fenway Field opened in 1912. The Angels won 7-6 for the first time since Sept. 3, 2016, when they were away to Seattle.

"It's a huge amount to set a record on such a legendary course," Trout said after learning the record, "it's crazy." Neto started the offensive with his fifth home run of the season (10th of the season); Trout blasted a 454-foot three-pointer over the "Green Monster" left field wall (Statcast), the second in 35 Fenway games of his career; Adair then added a 404-foot cannon.

Trout hit three hits and moved past Angels Tim Salmon to second in franchise history in 1,675, behind Garret Anderson (2,368). The three-time American League MVP has won two consecutive games in the last three games, the first time since 2018. "It's no surprise to anyone who knows Trout," stressed head coach Ron Washington, "that he can still do things that no one else can." "

Adair added a ninth hit in six innings (the second in a single game of the season) to become a key insurance point. Its last 11 hits are 0.306/0.405/0.694 (4 hits and 8 dots). "As long as he's playing aggressively, he's a threat," Washington noted, "and we continue to motivate him to attack the good belt." "

Trout revealed that he adjusted his batting mechanics during the knee injury break: "I was unable to run and focused on correcting the trajectory of my shots. Previously, the stick head stayed in the ball belt for too short a short time, resulting in a high swing rate, and the effect was remarkable after repeated adjustments with the batting coach. "
