Things have not gone well for the Los Angeles Angels over the past few years. Mike Trout has failed to stay healthy, and they haven't seen a winning record since the 2015 season.
However, that could be changing with the start the club has had so far. They hold an 11-13 record at this point in the season, but Trout is relishing and the emergence of a new ace has the fans more excited than ever.
Jose Soriano has been one of baseball's best starting pitchers this season. He holds a 5-0 record on five starts this season with an MLB-best 0.28 ERA and 39 strikeouts on 32.2 innings of work.
