| | | 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.
| | OAKLAND: OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Before the season has even begun, the Oakland Athletics are dealing with a devastating injury that could affect their chances of chasing a third straight AL West title.
Right-hander Jarrod Parker, who had been the projected opening day starter, was lost to a season-ending elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery - his second such procedure.
Like every year with this low-budget club, somebody always seems to step in and fill the void. Whether that will be enough for Bob Melvin's bunch in a much-improved division is to be determined.
Even before Parker went down, Oakland considered its club an underdog despite winning the last two AL West crowns.

*Angels-Athletics Preview* ==========================
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
Los Angeles (96-61) at Oakland (86-70), 10:05 p.m. EDT
After the Los Angeles Angels derailed Oakland's pursuit of an AL West title, the division champions are trying to inch closer to home-field advantage throughout the playoffs at the Athletics' ballpark.
The division foes meet Tuesday night in the second of a three-game series with Oakland trying to build on its wild-card lead.
The A's (86-70), who lead Kansas City by one game and own a three-game cushion over Seattle, are trying to win three straight for the first time since Aug. 7-9 after kicking off the series on a positive note with a six-run first inning in Monday's 8-4 win.
The Angels (96-61) had won five straight over Oakland, but they remain 2 1/2 games ahead of Baltimore for the top spot in the AL despite the loss.
They've now dropped back-to-back games but haven't let anything stretch beyond that since a four-game skid Aug. 5-8. Mike Scioscia's club has won just three times in nine games and allowed some crooked numbers in that time with a 5.29 ERA.
"I think it's important to play and keep your edge," Scioscia said. "Naturally, these games have bearing on all the teams."
Offensively, Albert Pujols hit a three-run homer and has left the yard twice in three games with six RBIs.
He hasn't had that kind of success against Sonny Gray (13-9, 3.28 ERA), who will try to win for the first time in six starts. The previous five resulted in a 0-2 record and 4.78 ERA after Thursday's 7-2 loss to Texas featured five runs - four earned - and eight hits allowed by the right-hander over five innings.
"I just dug us in a hole a little bit too deep," Gray told MLB's official website. "If you give up four in the first, nine times out of 10 you're not going to recover."
The winless run began against Los Angeles on Aug. 28 with Gray not factoring into the decision of a 4-3 road loss after surrendering three early runs and six hits in seven innings. Other outings in the series have been more successful for Gray, who is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in four starts and one relief appearance.
Gray has held Kole Calhoun to one hit in 14 at-bats, while Pujols is 1 for 10. Howie Kendrick is 5 for 12, Erick Aybar 4 for 11 and Mike Trout 4 for 11 with two home runs.
Kendrick was out Monday after injuring his left hamstring a day earlier, though the second baseman said he's healthy enough to play.
For the Angels, Wade LeBlanc (0-1, 5.24) will make a second straight start after holding Seattle to three hits in 5 1-3 scoreless innings of Thursday's 3-1 loss.
"That's the life of a swing man, long reliever, spot starter," LeBlanc said. "Any time they want to give me the ball, I'm ready for it."
The 30-year-old has had a strong month, giving up a run in 11 2-3 innings over six outings with the last 10 1-3 being scoreless.
"I'm starting to settle in a little bit, get a little more comfortable mechanically and then pitching to my strengths more than trying to force the issue with certain pitches in certain counts," LeBlanc said.
Oakland hasn't been as kind, tagging the left-hander with a 7.84 ERA in a 2009 start and two relief appearances this season. Josh Donaldson is 4 for 4 with two home runs against LeBlanc.
