Mike Trout hit a solo home run, stole a base and scored two runs in Wednesday's win over the Indians.
You know, the usual. Trout's 22nd home run of the season was his fourth of the month, and 10th since the All-Star break. Astoundingly, he's now 38-of-41 on stolen base attempts. That comes out to a 92.7 percent success rate. Hitting .340/.403/.595, Trout has 66 RBI and 49 extra-base hits through 95 games.

Mike Trout had a three-run homer and a two-RBI sac fly in the Angels' 6-5 win over the Mariners on Friday.
Less surprising than the fact that Trout was involved in a two-run sac fly is that he wasn't the one who scored from second on the play. It looked like Trout would have his second homer of the night on his long shot to right, but Eric Thames caught it at the wall. Erick Aybar was able to score from second afterwards. Despite leading off exclusively for the Angels, Trout has 65 RBI in 90 games. Cue the MVP chants.

Mike Trout went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and two stolen bases Saturday against the Yankees.
Trout is now tied with Dee Gordon for the major-league lead with 30 swipes and leads the majors with nine multi-steal games. The 20-year-old phenom has 30-multi-hit games under his belt (10 with three or more) and leads the American League with a .348 batting average. We're frankly running out of superlatives here.

Mike Trout hit his 12th home run in Sunday's win over the Orioles.
Trout took Wei-Yin Chen deep for a solo shot in the third. The bomb helps close out a first half where Trout hit .341/.397/.562 to go along with 30 extra-base hits, 40 RBI and 26 stolen bases in just 64 games. An argument could be made that he's the early leader in the clubhouse for the American League's MVP award.

Mike Trout went 2-for-2 with two sac flies, a walk and three steals in the Angels' 9-7 win over the Orioles on Thursday.
Trout's aggressiveness on the basepaths led to a Matt Wieters throwing error in the sixth, giving the Angels their last run of the game. Despite his late callup, he's tops in the AL with 26 steals this season. He's been OK in the other categories, too.

Mike Trout showed no ill-effects of his jammed pinkie finger on Tuesday night, blasting a three-run homer in a losing effort against the Indians.
Trout finished the game 2-for-5. His impressive shot off Zach McAllister in the fifth inning briefly gave the Angels a 4-3 lead, which they would soon relinquish. The 20-year-old phenom and first-time All-Star is on track for serious consideration for both the AL Rookie of the Year and AL MVP honors. He's now hitting a league-leading .340 with 10 homers, 36 RBI and 22 stolen bases.
