Michael Hermosillo's first big-league promotion capped what he called "a wild experience," the slumping Angels thinking perhaps he could provide a spark.
"Now it's just about trusting what I've been doing and what I'm still capable of doing and doing it at this level, too," Hermosillo said, "because the game doesn't change. It's the same baseball game."
After a slow first couple weeks he began to emerge and, on May 1, hit for the cycle against the Fresno Grizzlies, a feat that included a grand slam.
Upton was struck in the left hand Thursday by a Chris Archer fastball.
