KEY GAME INFORMATION
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 JEFF BARTL STATS Writer

Los Angeles (9-10) at Washington (11-9), 7:05 p.m. EDT

The Washington Nationals have seemed to bring out the best in Albert Pujols dating back to when the franchise was located in Montreal, and that was no different in the latest meeting as the slugger added to his list of career accomplishments.

Pujols will get his first crack at facing Gio Gonzalez on Wednesday night as the Los Angeles Angels look to complete a three-game sweep of the Nationals in D.C.

In 67 games against Washington, Pujols has hit .351 with 24 homers. That batting average is his best against any opponent other than Pittsburgh, and the home run total is the highest against any club other than the Pirates, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee, Cincinnati or Houston - the former Central Division foes he faced most often when he played in St. Louis.

The 34-year-old Pujols became the third-youngest in major league history to reach 500 homers after hitting two in Los Angeles' 7-2 victory on Tuesday. He's the first player in baseball history to hit Nos. 499 and 500 in the same game, blasting a three-run shot in the first and a two-run homer in the fifth.

"I knew this year, it was going to happen, whether it was tonight, tomorrow, two months from now," said Pujols, who has all eight of his homers this season in his last 13 games. "I was pretty emotional running the bases."

Pujols has never faced Gonzalez (3-1, 2.88 ERA), who is coming off a great outing against Pujols' former team.

Gonzalez continued his solid start to the season by giving up one run and striking out seven through seven innings of a 3-1 win over St. Louis on Friday.

"Gio threw the ball well against a really tough lineup," manager Matt Williams said. "He was aggressive in the strike zone, he threw a good fastball. He threw his curveball occasionally to keep them off balance."

The left-hander hasn't faced the Angels (10-10) since being acquired from Oakland on Dec. 23, 2011, but he's won his last four starts against them with a 0.96 ERA. Gonzalez beat Jered Weaver in a pitchers' duel in his most recent outing against Los Angeles on Sept. 23, 2011, and the two will oppose each other again in this contest.

Weaver (1-2, 4.74) is coming off his best start of the season after allowing one run and three hits in six innings of an 11-6 win at Detroit on Friday. He had allowed at least four runs in each of his previous three outings, though opponents are hitting just .195 against him on the season.

"Hopefully, I'll build off this one," Weaver said. "I'm trying to find that happy medium - not trying to do to much, trying to stay within myself and pitch."

The right-hander has never faced the Nationals, though he's seen former Minnesota outfielder Denard Span plenty. Span is just 2 for 22 with eight strikeouts off Weaver in his career, and he went 0 for 3 on Tuesday as Washington (11-10) mustered just two runs and three hits for the second straight day.

The Nationals have hit .170 and have been outscored 26-13 while dropping four of six.

Howie Kendrick went 2 for 4 on Tuesday and is hitting .438 with two homers and seven RBIs during a seven-game hitting streak for Los Angeles, which has won four of six.

The Angels have won five straight meetings with Washington dating back to 2011.
