Petit proving to be a nice fit with Angels

ANAHEIM -- Angels shortstop Gregorio Petit is used to waiting.

He broke through for his first pair of Major League stints in 2008 and 2009 with Oakland, but then went five years before he could call himself a Big Leaguer once again. After brief stints in the big leagues with the Astros in 2014 and Yankees in 2015, he took on the latest step in his career by signing a Minor League deal with the Angels.

Petit got off to a hot start with Triple-A Salt Lake this season, hitting .327 through his first 17 games.
