    “I was thinking about it for a little bit in the beginning,” said Trout, a three-time American League MVP and 11-time All-Star. “But now I’m just trying to put good swings on the ball. I know it’s going to come. I’m not trying to go up there and try to hit a home run. My whole career is just putting good swings on balls and they’ve gone over the fence.”

    Thursday night’s homer was the 56th of Trout’s career against the Mariners, four more than any other player against Seattle. He is batting .235 with 58 RBIs this season.
