FROM THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

For first time with Angels, Albert Pujols in All-Star game BY BILL SHAIKIN The Angels will send their dynamic duo to the All-Star game. Albert Pujols was selected by his peers to the American League team on Monday, one day after fans elected Mike Trout to the starting lineup. Pujols also will start the game, in place of injured Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera. Pujols, who leads the AL with 25 home runs, got the most votes on the player ballot of any AL first baseman besides Cabrera. Trout, the defending AL most valuable player, got the most votes on the player ballot of any player in either league. Trout also got the most votes in fan balloting of any player except third baseman Josh Donaldson of the Toronto Blue Jays. Pujols has said he would like to participate in the home run derby. The derby lineups are expected to be announced in the next two or three days. Pujols is in the fourth season of a 10-year, $240-million contract with the Angels. This is his first All-Star appearance with the Angels, after making nine appearances in his 11 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals. Pujols will become the first Angels first baseman to start the All-Star game since Wally Joyner in 1986 and the fourth first baseman to start for both leagues, following Dick Allen, Prince Fielder and Mark McGwire.

Angels' Mike Trout stealing fewer bases amid Albert Pujols' hot streak BY MIKE DIGIOVANNA Mike Trout reaches first base, and it's easy to imagine that old song by the Clash bouncing around in the Angels center fielder's head: "Should I Stay or Should I Go." Far more often than not, Trout has stayed, not strayed. In fact, it seems as though an anchor is attached to the leg of one of baseball's fastest runners, weighing down Trout and, at times, the Angels' offense. When Trout stole second in a 4-1 win over the New York Yankees on June 29, it was his first stolen base in 5 1/2 weeks, a span of 35 games. His previous stolen base, in Fenway Park on May 22, was his eighth of the season and came in the Angels' 42nd game. That put Trout on pace for 31 stolen bases, which would have been a considerable jump from his 16 stolen bases in 2014.

July 7, 2015 Page 4 of 13

The Angels, who open a two-game series against Colorado in Coors Field on Tuesday night, have played 82 games, and Trout has nine stolen bases in just 13 attempts, putting him on pace for 18. The combination of opponents' keen focus on Trout and Albert Pujols' recent tear at the plate has ground Trout to a virtual halt. "Albert has been hot — that's definitely one of the biggest reasons," Trout said. "When I get chances to run, I'll run. It just so happens that everything Albert is hitting, he's squaring up, so you don't want to take the bat out of his hands. I want to let him swing." Pujols is hitting .309 (42 for 136) with 17 home runs, 36 runs batted in and a 1.122 OPS (on-base-plus-slugging percentage) in 37 games since May 26, and he leads the American League with 25 homers. Pujols has only five doubles during his streak, but with Trout's speed, Trout is essentially in scoring position when he's at first, so why risk an out with Pujols up? "If he hits something into the gap or down the line," Trout said, "I have a pretty good chance of scoring." Bench coach Dino Ebel said pitchers often throw to first when Trout is on in an effort to "wear him out, get him tired." Pitchers often slide-step to the plate and throw more fastballs to give catchers a better chance of throwing Trout out. "There's a lot of things to consider when you talk about stealing a base or not," Manager Mike Scioscia said. Pitchers' "slide steps to the plate and some catchers who can throw are a bigger piece of the puzzle than worrying about whether a team will walk Albert if a base is open." Trout doesn't need to steal bases if the Angels clobber the ball as they did this past weekend in Texas, where they scored 33 runs, hit .392 (47 for 120) overall and .444 (20 for 45) with runners in scoring position in a three-game sweep. But the Angels struggled to score all season before the Rangers series, and the bats will likely cool. Manufacturing runs has not been a strength. Trout can wreak havoc on the bases, put opposing defenses on their heels and inject energy into the offense. Wouldn't it benefit the Angels — and Trout — to employ that weapon more often? "I'm going to try in every possible way, whether it's taking the extra base, making the big play on defense, to use my speed," said Trout, who was elected an All-Star starter for the third straight season. "I'm still going to steal some bases. I'm not going to shut down the whole running game. When I get chances to run, I'll run." Trout, who is batting .299 with 21 homers, 45 RBIs and 60 runs, stole an AL-high 49 bases as a rookie in 2012 and 33 in 2013. As his power increased — Trout had 36 homers and 111 RBIs and won AL most-valuable-player honors in 2014 — his stolen bases have decreased.

July 7, 2015 Page 5 of 13

That's a trade-off the Angels will gladly take, especially if it reduces the risk of injury for their best player. Trout, who turns 24 in August, is 6 feet 2, 235 pounds, and often slides headfirst into bases. He must strike a balance between the benefits of stealing and the wear and tear it can put on his body. "I don't think there's an exact number of stolen bases that would be good for me," Trout said. "I feel great physically. I'm staying in shape, keeping my body strong. If you steal 50 bases, it will take a toll on your body, but I'm not going to stop running. I want to put the team in the best position to score some runs." Up next Left-hander Andrew Heaney (1-0, 1.38 earned-run average) will oppose Colorado right-hander Chad Bettis (4-3, 3.67) at Coors Field on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. PDT. TV: FS West; Radio: 830, 1330.

FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

Pitcher Nick Tropeano ready to return to Salt Lake Bees BY BUBBA BROWN SALT LAKE CITY — Nick Tropeano is champing at the bit. After missing more than a month with rotator cuff tendinitis, the right-handed pitching prospect is expected to return to the Salt Lake Bees later this week. As of Saturday, his turn in the rotation had yet to be determined. Tropeano has not pitched for the Bees since May 26, when he first felt pain in his shoulder in an outing in which he gave up seven runs in 3 2/3 innings. Over the past several weeks, he has been rehabbing in Arizona, where he pitched seven innings in two games for the Rookie-level Arizona League Angels. The 24-year-old said the rehab process was full of ups and downs, but he no longer feels pain. “I feel good now,” Tropeano said. “But it was one of things that was just frustrating. I mean, one day it would better than the next, and it was just something I had to take day by day and trust the process and hope everything works out.” That he finally feels healthy is cause for relief for Tropeano. Shoulder ailments are widely considered to be more concerning for pitchers than elbow injuries, which often have an almost routine — though lengthy — fix in Tommy John surgery. Despite that, he doesn’t expect the injury to have a long-term impact. “There’s always that little bit of worry in your mind,” he said, adding this was the first time he’s injured his rotator cuff. “Obviously the shoulder is a very delicate spot as a pitcher. But after getting all the MRIs and everything done, it all was fine. No structural damage or anything like that. Just tendinitis and something you have to just rest.”

July 7, 2015 Page 6 of 13

Before the injury, Tropeano had thrown 44 innings for the Bees, and despite an elevated 5.11 ERA, he said he was pleased with how his season had progressed. But after a long layoff, he is approaching his return as a fresh start. “It’s kind of restart mode for me,” he said. “I’ve been out for a month, and I will have to take this first outing for what it is. I’ve been working on stuff throughout the weeks, and hopefully I pitch well.” Regardless of how he pitches, he’ll simply be pleased to again button up a Bees uniform and try to help the team orchestrate a second-half surge. Watching them play without him was one of the most frustrating parts of being on the disabled list. “It’s tough watching all your teammates compete,” Tropeano said. “Even when I was in Arizona, I was checking the box scores and all that. Knowing I could contribute to the team and help them win and was not able to do that was frustrating. But I’m glad to be back now.” A NEW ADDITION Rafael Lopez, a catcher the Angels acquired in a trade Thursday with the Chicago Cubs, was added to the Bees roster Saturday. The addition of the 27-year-old gives the Bees three catchers — with Jett Bandy and Charlie Cutler being the other two — but Manager Dave Anderson said playing time will work itself out. Cutler can also play first base and the outfield, while Lopez’s addition will allow Jett Bandy, who has served as the primary catcher, to take some much-needed days off through the season’s second half, Anderson said. Having three catchers will also give the Bees the flexibility to get one of them at-bats as designated hitter. Lopez, who had been in the Cubs farm system since they drafted him in 2011, was hitting .276/.333/.340 this year for the Iowa Cubs. ALSO The Bees will likely enter the all-star break facing a steep uphill climb to get back into the playoff race. With seven games remaining in the first half, the Bees record sits at 33-51. They are 13.5 games behind the Pacific Southern division-leading Las Vegas 51s after Sunday’s 13-7 loss to the El Paso Chihuahuas.

With delivery fixed, Angels' Andrew Heaney could be special BY PEDRO MOURA When Andrew Heaney arrived in Tempe, Ariz., for his first Angels spring training in February, Mike Butcher knew at first sight that the left-hander’s delivery was off. Every time he threw, Heaney seemed to reach across his body before he got rid of the baseball, an approach that can create deception but also a lack of balance and a corresponding inability to direct the

July 7, 2015 Page 7 of 13

ball to a particular location. Butcher knew all that. He was “100 percent” certain that was not how Heaney had risen to elite prospect status. But the Angels’ pitching coach said he felt he could not say much about it. “The thing with Andrew was he came here as a guy who was going to make our team out of spring training,” Butcher said. “Sometimes, you have guys who come here trying to earn a roster spot, and you want to let them do it their way – whether it’s succeed or fail.” And so the Angels let Heaney fail for a month, as he pitched to a near-9.00 ERA. Rival scouts openly questioned what was going on with the top prospect the Angels had parted with Howie Kendrick to acquire. After another failed start in late March, Butcher finally, pointedly asked him: “Are you sure you’re that far across your body?” Compounding the problem was the lack of available video from Heaney’s 23 starts for the Marlins’ Double and Triple-A affiliates last season. The only video the Angels had were his seven appearances with Miami, which all featured the bad delivery, which the team believes contributed to his 5.83 ERA in his debut stint. Heaney eventually uncovered footage of one of his appearances in the 2013 Arizona Fall League – Baseball America had some up on YouTube. There, according to Butcher, “he was a different pitcher.” He threw in line every time. Instead of reaching across, he reached ahead, and thus he controlled where the ball would reach the catcher’s mitt. The next day, the Angels started to correct Heaney’s delivery during a bullpen session. In his final spring start, against the Dodgers in the Freeway Series, Heaney went 51/3 scoreless innings. And now, after almost a half-season of more positive than negative results in the Pacific Coast League’s famously difficult conditions, Heaney is succeeding. The 24-year-old left-hander, the best pitching prospect to come through the system in several years, has fired two excellent starts to begin his Angels career. He attributes it in part to the frequent video analysis suggested by the team’s staffers. He’s also pitching faster, with a more standardized tempo between offerings, lending repeatability to his delivery. “There’s more of an openness, a willingness, to look at video here,” Heaney said. “And have it readily available in general with the Angels as opposed to the Marlins.” But he does not want to become someone who analyzes every start. When he pitches well, he doesn’t look at anything. “Sometimes I feel like if you just watch video to find something, you’ll always find something, and that might not necessarily be a good thing,” Heaney said. “If I feel something that I want to look for, I’ll do it.” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Heaney’s biggest strength is his fastball command. His ability to locate the pitch to the glove-side of the plate is unquestioned. The arm-side control is still developing, according to Angels catcher Chris Iannetta. The home run Mark Teixeira hit in Heaney’s last start came on a fastball Iannetta wanted inside that instead arrived in the middle of the plate.

July 7, 2015 Page 8 of 13

His fastball also has more movement glove-side, with a sharp down-and-in angle to right-handed hitters and a particularly tough perspective for left-handed hitters to see. Integral to Heaney’s development is his slider, the pitch scouts believe will determine where he fits into future rotations: either toward the top, if it can induce swings-and-misses, or toward the bottom, if it can’t. Heaney learned the slider from Red Sox prospect Mike Augliera the summer before his final year of college, when both pitched for the Falmouth Commodores in the Cape Cod League. Until that point, he had “survived,” he said, on a curveball he has since scrapped. Now, he throws the slider twice as often as he throws his other offering, a changeup generally pegged as average. “It’s starting to become a strike pitch and a strikeout pitch,” Iannetta said. “I think that’s been the biggest improvement since spring training.” Heaney’s last two starts have come on the same days as Chicago White Sox ace Chris Sale’s. After every outing, Heaney watches Sale’s highlights. He looks up to the 26-year-old’s approach, to his strikeout-inducing stuff, and, above all, his awe-inspiring slider. A quiet man, Heaney controls his emotions in speech just as he does his delivery on the mound. But he becomes impassioned when he speaks about Sale. “He throws the (expletive) slider from hell,” Heaney said. “I know how I feel when I’m rolling. If I go seven and get five punchouts, I feel good. I can’t imagine him. The dude’s out there going eight and striking out 15 people every game. I’m like, ‘Holy (expletive), that guy’s unbelievable.” NOTE Butcher said two-seam fastballs tend to cut much more than they sink at Colorado’s high-altitude Coors Field, where the Angels will play Tuesday and Wednesday. The Angels aren’t changing their planned pitch mixes to account for that, but they are emphasizing the difference to their players. “It’s going to be interesting to see what happens,” Butcher said. “There’s a lot of things that happen in Colorado.”

Angels' Albert Pujols replaces injured Miguel Cabrera as AL All-Star starter BY PEDRO MOURA Albert Pujols will be an All-Star for the first time as an Angel. American League players voted the Angels first baseman into the All-Star Game in Cincinnati, it was announced Monday. He'll start at first base for the injured Miguel Cabrera of Detroit.

July 7, 2015 Page 9 of 13

It is Pujols’ 10th All-Star selection overall. He made it eight consecutive times from 2003-10 with St. Louis. In experiencing a career resurgence in 2015, the 35-year-old leads the league with 25 home runs. He hit the majority of those in June, a massive month for him. He finished fifth in fan voting at first base, behind even Justin Smoak, a part-time player for Toronto. By the game's rules, Pujols would not get the start at first since Prince Fielder finished ahead of him in the voting and also made the team, but Fielder is being treated as a designated hitter, giving Pujols the nod. Pujols and Mike Trout stand to be the Angels' only representatives in Cincinnati, barring an injury-replacement selection. Shortstop Erick Aybar made it in that way a year ago. Pitchers Hector Santiago, Garrett Richards and Huston Street were all considered candidates this year and could earn a spot if selected players withdraw. Richards was on the five-man Final Vote ballot a year ago. No Angels are on it this season. This is the ninth time two Angels players will start an All-Star Game. The last time came in 2003, with Troy Glaus and Garret Anderson.

Pujols gets start at 1B on AL All-Star team BY ALDEN GONZALEZ / MLB.COM DENVER -- Albert Pujols has officially surged back into the collective conscience. On the heels of a dominant run reminiscent of his heyday in St. Louis, Pujols was chosen for his 10th All-Star Game on Monday, ending a four-year hiatus. The Angels' cleanup hitter was selected as a reserve but will start at first base, replacing the injured Miguel Cabrera and joining teammate Mike Trout in the American League starting lineup. Pujols, the AL Player of the Month for June, took Cabrera's place because he had the next-highest vote total on the Player Ballot at his position. Angels pitchers Hector Santiago (fourth among AL starters with a 2.40 ERA) and Huston Street (tied for second with 23 saves) weren't chosen, but can still make the All-Star team if others drop out due to injury. If A's right-hander Sonny Gray starts Sunday, as scheduled, Santiago could make his way onto the roster. Pujols leads the AL with 25 home runs, while slashing .265/.337/.557 and posting a FanGraphs Wins Above Replacement of 2.4. The 35-year-old compiled fewer fan votes than at least 72 players, but he was deemed an All-Star by 298 of his peers. Only Cabrera, with 753 player votes, had more among AL first basemen. "Albert's an All-Star," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said recently. "Whether he gets selected for the team or not, he's one of the top players in baseball. I don't know how you leave him off the team." Pujols previously said he'd like to partake in the Gillette Home Run Derby presented by Head & Shoulders one last time -- he's done so three other times -- if picked for the All-Star Game, which will take place at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati on Tuesday, July 14.

July 7, 2015 Page 11 of 13

"If that happens, I think I'm all for it," Pujols said of competing in the Home Run Derby a week ago. "I'll give it a shot." Trout is still undecided about taking part in his first Derby, saying Sunday: "I haven't really thought about it too much. Maybe after this weekend cools down I'll make a decision." Trout and Pujols give the Angels two All-Star Game starters for the ninth time in franchise history and the first time since 2003, when Troy Glaus and Garret Anderson made up the same lineup from U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago. Pujols is the 34th player to start the All-Star Game at least eight times and just the seventh to make five starts at first base. Trout, who led AL outfielders in fan votes and was named on more player ballots than anyone, is the eighth player to make three All-Star Game starts before his 24th birthday. Asked Sunday about making his fourth All-Star Game, Trout pushed for his teammate. "He deserves to be there," Trout said of Pujols. "His bat has been unbelievable."

Pujols has cracked the All-Star team for the first time since 2010 and the first time since signing a 10-year, $240 million contract with the Angels in December 2011. He slumped mightily at the start of his first season in Southern California, going homerless in his first 27 games before a dominant surge allowed him to finish 2012 with above-average numbers. He was

July 7, 2015 Page 12 of 13

hindered by an intense bout with plantar fasciitis in '13, an injury that didn't allow him to play past July. And though his first-half numbers in '14 were solid -- .259 batting average, 20 homers, 64 RBIs -- they weren't deemed All-Star worthy for such an offense-driven position. Several Angels predicted a big season for Pujols in 2015, though. His legs were healthy, the ball was jumping off his bat in Spring Training, and the prevailing sentiment was that Pujols could be even better than he was a year ago, even though his age indicated regression. He was batting only .228 as late as May 25, but he was hardly striking out, his line-drive rates looked good and he was the victim of awful luck on balls in play. "It's the hardest .230 I've ever hit in my life," Pujols said then. Immediately after that, Pujols went on a 37-game stretch in which he batted .309/.401/.721, belted 17 home runs, struck out only 11 times -- and became an All-Star again. "He looks healthy, man," Pujols' longtime teammate, David Freese, said recently. "His legs are powerful. He's getting down on his stance and he's ready to go, every pitch."

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Angels-Rockies Preview The Los Angeles Angels' first two games with the Colorado Rockies this season ended in the same fashion as nearly every meeting of the past five years -- with a victory. The surging Angels will turn to Andrew Heaney to continue that dominance Tuesday night against a Rockies team fresh off a disappointing road trip. Los Angeles (44-38) has won seven straight versus Colorado (35-47) -- tied for its second-longest active winning streak against any opponent, trailing only Philadelphia (9) -- and last dropped a meeting at Coors Field in 1999. The Angels extended that run with two May victories over the Rockies, allowing three runs. Heaney (1-0, 1.38 ERA) has been similarly stifling in two starts with Los Angeles, earning his first career victory last Tuesday with seven innings of two-hit ball in a 2-1 win over the New York Yankees. The left-hander, who posted a 6.93 ERA in five starts last season while with Miami, has limited opposing batters to .136 average in his two outings this year since joining the rotation in place of the injured Jered Weaver. "I was kind of fighting my own mechanics, fighting myself on the mound (in spring training)," Heaney told MLB's official website. "Here I've felt comfortable, and I've felt like I'm able to go out there and for the most part execute a game plan."

July 7, 2015 Page 13 of 13

One of Heaney's primary challenge will be with Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez, who combined to go 3 for 17 in the two losses to Los Angeles, yet enter Tuesday's contest after each hitting a home run in Colorado's 6-4 win Sunday against Arizona. The Rockies entered the 10-game trip averaging 4.6 runs, but reached that number only three times en route to a 3-7 record. "You look at any team, when you look at the middle of their lineup and both guys hit, the team's record is probably real good," said Tulowitzki. " ... I hope the power stroke shows up." For the most part, Tulowitzki has upheld his end of that bargain. Despite only two home runs since June 9, the shortstop has an 18-game hitting streak with a .371 average and .907 OPS in that span. Gonzalez, however, had slumped prior to Sunday's three-hit performance, batting .103 in his previous eight games. Generating offense hasn't been an issue lately for the Angels, who scored 33 runs and had 47 hits in a three-game sweep of Texas. Los Angeles rolled to a 12-6 victory Sunday for its seventh win in eight games, as Albert Pujols hit his AL-best 25th home run and Kole Calhoun had four RBI. Calhoun has three straight two-hit games, knocking in 10 runs in that span. The Angels' starting pitching also performed well, notching a quality start in each of the three wins. "We really broke out this series, no doubt," manager Mike Scioscia said. "I think what I'm going to carry away from this series is really how well we pitched against a team that can really swing it. I thought we pitched really well this series and gave us a chance, and our offense blossomed." Chad Bettis (4-3, 3.67) will try to slow Los Angeles' bats in his first appearance against the team. The right-hander fell just shy of a third straight quality start Wednesday, allowing three runs and seven hits over 5 2/3 innings in a 4-1 loss at Oakland. Bettis has been far better at Coors Field this season, touting a 2.84 in five starts compared with a 4.55 mark on the road.
