June 3 (UPI) -- Mike Trout waved his Old Hickory through the zone and dented a 3-1 fastball, sending it over the Green Monster for his first home run since coming off the injured list and the longest hit so far this season in Boston.
Trout chopped the 454-foot, three-run shot over the famous left field fence in the top of the first inning of the Los Angeles Angels' 7-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday at Fenway Park. He went 3 for 4 with three RBIs and a run scored.
"That wall is big out there, so you have to hit them real high," Trout said on the FanDuel Sports Network broadcast.
Trout, who came off the injured list Friday, is 8 for 14 (.571) with a double, homer and five RBIs since his return. He raised his season average from .179 to .225 over the four-game stretch since the end of the hiatus, which was triggered by a bruised left knee.
