But that game actually contained another piece of history, thanks to a couple other Bronx Bombers.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Monday’s game marked the first time since at least 1900 in which the top four active home run hitters played in the same game. They were all in the lineup again on Tuesday night.
Trout will actually play against every other member in the top five of active home run leaders in the same week. He and the Angels will host the Padres beginning on Friday, and San Diego third baseman Manny Machado entered Tuesday ranked fifth on the list with 371 homers.
