Trout the key behind Angels' resurgence

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Everyone knew it was just a matter of time before the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim were going to start playing to their potential.

What most didn't see coming, though, was that it would be a 20-year-old outfielder, who would be the one keying the turnaround. But that is exactly what is happening as Mike Trout has been the driving force behind the Angels' surge up the standings.

Heading into action this weekend, manager Mike Scioscia's club finds themselves four games over .500 at 34-30 and just three games back of the AL West-leading Texas Rangers. Not bad considering the Angels were a mere 6-14 when Trout was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake City.
