Hitting home runs is easy for Mike Trout, so he increased the degree of difficulty by blasting a ball directly into a fan's custom-made "Trout Net." 

In the bottom of the sixth inning Sunday with the Angels leading 4-2 over the Rangers, Trout took advantage with the bases loaded and sent a 93-mph pitch out of the park. One lucky fan was ready to catch a Trout bomb.

Trout finished the game 4 for 4 with two home runs and five RBIs as the Angels won 13-7. He leads the league with 31 home runs for the season, and he also leads the league in the more obscure category of most home runs hit into a net designed to catch fish and/or homers.
