ANAHEIM -- The Angels can only hope that some day they'll get to see what first baseman C.J. Cron can do over a full season.
Their 2011 first-round pick's first three Major League seasons have been interrupted, the first two by slumps that sent Cron back to Triple-A for some tuneups. This year, when he was at his hottest, Cron suffered a broken left hand when he was struck by a pitch. He missed six weeks.
He's come back from that with a vengeance, launching a pair of home runs Tuesday night to power the Angels to a 4-2 victory over the Reds at Angel Stadium.
