Trout’s streak began against the Astros on September 4 before he hit home runs in three straight games against the Tigers. He homered again on Friday and Saturday at Houston, but on Sunday he was left out of the lineup.
Trout’s home run on Saturday gave him the club record previously held by Bobby Bonds, who hit five straight home runs with the Angels from August 2-7, 1977. Trout’s previous career record was four straight games with a home run, which he hit twice (May 12-15, 2017 and April 4-7, 2019).
He’ll have a chance to tie the record for most consecutive games with a home run on Tuesday, when rookie right-hander Cody Morris starts for the Guardians.
