Los Angeles Angels vs. Houston Astros WATCH FREE Live Streaming Online Major League Baseball from Minute Maid Park at 2:10 PM ET
Josh Hamilton's fast start has been aided by a visit to one of his favorite venues. Hamilton looks to continue his torrid hitting at Minute Maid Park and help the Angels take three of four from the Astros on Monday.
Eager to erase the memory of a very disappointing first season with the Angels, Hamilton has started quickly in the first week of 2014. He picked up two more hits in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Astros and is 11 for 22 with two homers, two doubles and five RBIs in six games.
"It's how you want to feel -- relaxed, pitch-to-pitch," Hamilton told the team's official website. "You feel like your swing. You know it, and if something's not right, pitch-to-pitch, you change it. It would be really nice if it stayed that way."
Those numbers are in stark contrast to Hamilton's first six games last season, when he had one hit with 10 strikeouts in his first 21 at-bats.
Los Angeles (2-4) has scored 20 runs in the first three games of this series even with little production from Albert Pujols, who is 5 for 25 with one RBI and no walks this season.
Houston (3-3) got a second straight outstanding start from Scott Feldman and backed him with five homers Sunday to snap a three-game skid.
The Angels send C.J. Wilson to the mound hoping the left-hander can help them avoid starting 2-5 for the second consecutive season. Wilson, though, wasn't sharp Tuesday against Seattle, allowing six runs and eight hits over 5 2/3 innings in an 8-3 loss. He needed 95 pitches to get through the first five innings and threw 114 overall.
Wilson was very good last season against the Astros, going 2-2 with a 2.03 ERA in four starts.
