Trout discussed what it meant to tie DiMaggio on Tuesday when he hit home run No. 361.

"It means a lot," Trout said Tuesday. "Anytime you pass or tie a great or even just be in the same conversation with a great, it's really special, especially another center fielder."

His 362nd career home run came one inning after teammate Shohei Ohtani hit his 12th of the season. 

"It’s pretty cool when we go deep twice," Trout said. "Good things happen. ... (The Red Sox) beat us three out of four when we played them out there (in Boston), so it’s good to get a little sweep."
