Mike Trout extended his #Angels record with his 29th career multi-HR game. This is his second time having a game-tying and go-ahead HR in the same game. He also did it almost exactly 10 years ago, on July 8, 2015 at Colorado.
This is Mike Trout's 3rd multi-HR game of the season. The last one was April 19. Angels up 6-5 in the 6th. I bet @MattBirch12 can tell us the last time Trout hit a game-tying and go-ahead HR in the same game.

This is the #Angels fifth walk-off win of the season and first walk-off walk since Chone Figgins on Aug. 4, 2008 vs. Baltimore. It is also Schanuel's second career walk-off plate appearance (walk-off RBI single on June 10, 2025 vs. Athletics).

Taylor Ward is the first #Angels player to have three doubles in a game since Mickey Moniak on June 24, 2023 at Colorado and is the first to do it in a home game since David Fletcher on July 17, 2021 vs. Seattle. Halos have never had a player with four doubles in a game.

Kevin Newman and Gustavo Campero are the first pair of #Angels teammates to have their first homers of the season come in the same game (excluding the opening few weeks of a season), since Mike Napoli and Casey Kotchman on May 4, 2006 vs. Tigers rookie Justin Verlander.

Yusei Kikuchi's 41 strikeouts in June are the most for any #Angels pitcher since Matt Shoemaker had 45 SO in June 2016. Today, Kikuchi lowered his season ERA at Angel Stadium to 1.13, which is the third-lowest home ERA in the Majors this season (min. 25 home IP).
Yusei Kikuchi is the fourth #Angels left-hander to have a season with 41+ strikeouts in June. He joins:.Frank Tanana (73 SO in June 1975).Chuck Finley (43 SO in June 1989).Mark Langston (41 SO in June 1990).

Christian Moore becomes the youngest player in #Angels history to have a multi-HR game and the walk-off hit in the same game. Previous was Matt Thaiss (age 24) on July 28, 2019 vs. Baltimore. Since 2000, the only younger players to do so are Jackson Merrill and Delmon Young.

The Brewers first rounders in that game were:.B.J. Surhoff, Dale Sveum, Bill Spiers, Gary Sheffield, Paul Molitor, Dan Plesac, Greg Vaughn & Robin Yount. Angels tonight used Zach Neto, Nolan Schanuel, Mike Trout, Taylor Ward, Jo Adell, Christian Moore, Reid Detmers & Sam Bachman.

Per @EliasSports, the #Angels are the first team to use eight of their own first-round draft picks in a game since the Brewers on July 3, 1991 (also vs. Boston).
The Angels got all 8 of their first-round picks in this game, since both Reid Detmers and Sam Bachman pitched. That's probably some kind of record. Ask @MattBirch12 . It's 5-5, mid 8.
