ANAHEIM -- Mike Trout reached an impressive milestone on Friday night, launching his 200th career home run in the first inning of the Angels' 6-5 win over the Mariners at Angel Stadium. Trout crushed a 2-1 changeup from left-hander Marco Gonzales to center field to give the Angels a 1-0 lead. With the blast, Trout joined Alex Rodriguez, Jimmie Foxx and Mickey Mantle as the only American League players to reach the 200-home run mark before their age-26 seasons.

The game meant little, the postseason aspirations of the Los Angeles Angels and Seattle Mariners having been vanquished before their final weekend series began Friday night.
