"We just haven't put together good innings," hitting coach Don Baylor said. "There was a while where we were putting together early runs. We went on a streak like that, then all of a sudden, we stopped doing that. We've had the same lineup, pretty much, except we've added a couple guys. Sometimes that clicks right away, and sometimes it doesn't."
The Angels added three outfielders -- David Murphy, David DeJesus and Shane Victorino -- before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, giving themselves a platoon in left field and designated hitter.
