OAKLAND -- Greg Mahle began to play baseball at around the age of 5 and never much considered doing anything else.
Being here, in the Major Leagues?
"I haven't not thought about it a day in my life," Mahle said. "It's unbelievable, of course."
The Angels made Mahle's lifelong dream come true on Monday, adding the 22-year-old lefty to their bullpen for the start of an 11-day road trip. Mahle takes the place of fellow reliever A.J. Achter, barely a week after losing out to Cam Bedrosian for the final bullpen spot on the Opening Day roster.
