Albert Pujols has finally seen some improvement in his numbers this season. Pujols is hitting only .253 but he has hit a team high 21 home runs and has driven in 87 runs on the year.
The Angels have Tyler Scaggs on the mound for his 4th start of the season. Scaggs is currently 1-0 on the season with a 2.04 E.R.A. and 17 strikeouts.

J-Ram is hitting .309 on the season with 28 doubles and 47 RBIs. All-star Francisco Lindor is currently hitting .305 on the season and has also tallied 35 extra base hits.
