| |  | LA ANGELS: ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton didn't exactly fit in right away with the Los Angeles Angels after they accepted owner Arte Moreno's lavish free-agent contracts.
Now that both sluggers feel much more comfortable and confident in Orange County, they know it's time the Angels started getting more wins for their money.
The Angels' four-year absence from the playoffs is embarrassing for an organization with a sky-high payroll and equally lofty expectations, but they seem capable of ending the drought if the club's various pieces finally add up properly.
Pujols and Hamilton are full of spring optimism after those disappointing 2013 efforts, while superstar Mike Trout is back for the third full major league campaign in his already remarkable career.
| | WASHINGTON: WASHINGTON (AP) - Thanks in part to No. 1 overall draft picks Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper, the 2012 Washington Nationals were considered an up-and-coming team, perhaps a year or two away from contending.
So what did they do? Went out and led the majors with 98 wins.
Thanks to that quick rise, the 2013 Nationals became a popular pick to go to the World Series. So what did they do? Stumbled at the start and missed out on the playoffs.
Now here come the 2014 Nationals, featuring largely the same roster - including Strasburg on the mound, and Harper in left field, both feeling good after offseason surgery - and with rookie manager Matt Williams replacing Davey Johnson, he of the ''World Series or bust'' proclamation.
One key difference: The club knows what it's like to experience a truly disappointing, worse-than-they-were-supposed-to-be season for the first time since moving from Montreal in 2005.
''We got ahead of ourselves a little bit. My take on it was always: Last year in spring training, we had expectations on ourselves, really, for the first time, and we thought we were better, maybe, than we were,'' reliever Tyler Clippard said. ''We came into the season expecting to win, which is a good thing. But at the same time, we might not have went out there and earned it, like we should have.''
Yes, the team that got Strasburg and Harper thanks to consecutive 100-loss seasons is trying to deal with lofty goals.
''To see the organization from basically, literally, the ground up, improve is something I kind of take pride in, because when I signed, people would be like, `Oh, you play for the Expos and the Nationals,' and they'd be like, `Uh, OK, I don't know them,''' said shortstop Ian Desmond, drafted by Montreal in 2004. ''And now, it's like there's some pride behind playing for the Washington Nationals.''

*Angels-Nationals Preview* ==========================
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
Los Angeles (9-10) at Washington (11-9), 7:05 p.m. EDT
While the focus might remain on Mike Trout and Bryce Harper as the standout outfielders square off in a series for the first time, the Washington Nationals aren't in a position to be picky about who provides their offense.
The teams with two of baseball's brightest young stars reconvene Tuesday night in Washington with the home team trying to end a slump at the plate.
After Monday's 4-2 series-opening loss, the Nationals (11-9) are batting .181 with 11 runs scored in their last five games.
Trout was 2 for 5 while Harper went 0 for 3 with a walk and is 2 for 18 in his last five games, so Washington's left fielder is more concerned with getting his own house in order than worrying about comparisons to Trout.
"Not at all, because I know I'm a damn good player, and he is, too," Harper told the team's official website. "We're going to roll through baseball over the next 20 years, hopefully, and make people turn their heads."
Trout, meanwhile, has hit safely in 11 straight games against the NL with a .477 average and 1.281 OPS.
"It's not about him," teammate Albert Pujols told the team's official website. "It's about what he can do to help this ballclub. Young players, especially 22 years old, don't do that in this era. That's what I admire the most about him."
Los Angeles (9-10) has won seven of its last eight interleague games and got another strong outing Monday as Garrett Richards allowed a run and a hit in six innings. Angels starters have held opponents to a .165 average in the last four games but have issued 15 free passes.
Tyler Skaggs is next in line to keep the former going while putting an end to the latter.
After a promising first start, Skaggs (1-0, 3.43 ERA) has labored in his last two outings, allowing eight runs in 13 innings. The 22-year-old allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks in six innings of Wednesday's 5-4, 12-inning home win over Oakland.
He's never faced the Nationals or any of their hitters, and that can also be said about Washington starter Taylor Jordan's history with the Angels.
Jordan (0-2, 5.94) also had his best outing so far this season in his debut and has fallen off considerably since, allowing 12 runs on 17 hits in 10 1-3 innings over his last two starts. The right-hander took the loss in both, most recently giving up seven runs in Thursday's 8-0 loss to St. Louis.
Former Cardinal David Freese, who is hitting .140 with a .194 on-base percentage in his first season with the Angels, was out of the starting lineup Monday and struck out as a pinch hitter in the seventh.
"Just trying to give him a little breather and trying to get him to maybe decompress a little bit," manager Mike Scioscia said. "Long term, he's going to have a terrific season."
Washington's Jayson Werth reached base three times Monday but went 0 for 1 and is in a 3-for-31 slump at the plate.
