HOUSTON -- Mike Trout recorded his fourth career multi-home run game, breaking a pair of ties and carrying the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-3 victory over the Houston Astros on Friday night at Minute Maid Park.

One plate appearance after bashing his 100th career home run, a two-run shot in the sixth that made him the youngest player in history with 100 homers and 100 stolen bases, Trout crushed a three-run, opposite-field shot off Astros right-hander Chad Qualls (0-1) to snap a 3-3 tie.

Trout, who went 2-for-4 with five RBIs, recorded his previous multi-homer game on Sept. 13, 2014 against the Astros (4-6). Yankees designated hitter Alex Rodriguez had held the distinction as the youngest player to reach 100 homers and 100 steals. Trout, the reigning American League Most Valuable Player, is 23 years and 251 days old.

Trailing 3-1 following the first Trout blast, the Astros rallied for solo runs in the sixth and seventh innings. Houston catcher Jason Castro sliced the deficit to one run with a two-out solo homer off Angels right-hander Jered Weaver in the sixth. An inning later, right fielder George Springer plated pinch-hitter Robbie Grossman with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly the opposite way to right field.

Then, Trout happened, enabling the Angels (5-5) to claim the opener of this three-game series.

Left-hander Cesar Ramos (1-0) earned the win in relief for the Angels while right-hander Huston Street notched his fourth save on the season

Astros center fielder Jake Marisnick played a pivotal role in the 1-1 deadlock through five innings, doing so in the field and on the bases.

Astros right-hander Roberto Hernandez set the Angels down in order through the third inning before surrendering a drive to Angels right fielder Kole Calhoun to straightaway center field. Had the speedy Marisnick not misplayed the line drive -- Marisnick initially came in on the ball before turning tail on a dead sprint -- he might have made the grab. Instead, Calhoun reached third base to open the fourth inning.

Three batters later, Calhoun scored on a Matt Joyce sacrifice fly, aided significantly when Astros catcher Castro failed to corral a bad-hop throw from left fielder. The Angels' 1-0 lead was short-lived, however.

Marisnick was one of three Astros to stroke singles off Weaver in the fifth, with first baseman Chris Carter scoring on a single to center from second baseman Jose Altuve. Marisnick scampered to third on the Altuve hit but misread a fly ball off the bat of Springer, wandering off the bag instead of tagging on the play. Left fielder Efren Navarro made the grab and Marisnick was left stranded in scoring position when Castro ended the inning with a groundout.

In the top of the sixth, Trout snapped the 1-1 tie with a two-run blast to left field, scoring Calhoun and providing the Angels a 3-1 advantage.

NOTES: The Astros on Friday placed RHP Brad Peacock on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 15 with a left intercostal strain. He made his season debut Tuesday night, allowing three runs, five hits and two walks with three strikeouts in five innings of a 4-0 loss to the Oakland Athletics. Peacock replaced RHP Asher Wojciechowski on the active roster, with Wojciechowski replacing Peacock after his recall from Triple-A Fresno. ... Angels RHP Garrett Richards threw a bullpen session on Friday and the club will make a decision on Saturday regarding his next outing. Depending on his readiness, Richards could make another rehab start or pitch for the Angels against Houston on Sunday. Richards had left knee surgery in August and is eligible for activation from the 15-day disabled list. ... Angels manager Mike Scioscia had dinner with injured OF Josh Hamilton on Wednesday night but did not divulge the details of their meeting. Hamilton is in Houston rehabbing his right shoulder after offseason surgery and his reputation after
