Mike Trout hit a walkoff homer off Tony Sipp in the bottom of the ninth Friday in the Angels' 7-6 win over the Astros.
Trout's 20th bomb of the year came off an 0-2 pitch from Sipp and it wasn't even a particularly bad one; Trout just went down and got it. While it doesn't appear at all likely that Trout will swipe 30 bases this year, he's on pace for what would be his best power season. He's two-thirds of the way to his career high for homers, and he's slugging .616, which is about 60 points higher than his career mark.

Mike Trout went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Royals.
He hit the solo shot against Jason Vargas in the first inning. It traveled an estimated 489 feet, which tells you all you need to know about the way Trout's been going this month. Trout has been red-hot in June, slashing to the tune of .356/.461/an absurd .767.

Mike Trout reached three times and had his first two-steal game of the year Monday against the Indians.
Trout's back must be feeling good; four of his nine steals on the season have come since he rejoined the starting lineup on June 5. If not for his one at-bat cameo on June 3, he'd be working on a 22-game hitting streak right now.

Mike Trout had a nice night at the dish in Sunday's loss to the Braves, going 3-for-5 and slugging his 14th home run of the season.
Trout hit the ball hard in each of his five trips to the plate, and could have had five hits had it not been for a pair of spectacular grabs by Jason Heyward in right field. With the three-hit night, he's now hitting .305/.390/.585 to go along with 14 homers, 50 RBI and seven stolen bases on the season.

Mike Trout hit his second career grand slam off Chris Sale to tie the game in the eighth inning and fuel the Angels' 6-5 win over the White Sox on Saturday.
The Angels scored all of their runs in the eighth. After Trout tied it and Sale was pulled, they put together another little rally, with Erick Aybar singling in Josh Hamilton to give the Angels the lead. Trout's slam was his 12th homer of the season, and it gave him 43 RBI in 57 games. His previous slam came on April 20, 2013 off the Tigers' Rick Porcello.
