Angels’ Taylor Ward looks for strong final month to end disappointing season

ANAHEIM — Like many other Angels players who have not had the season they expected, Taylor Ward is looking at the final month as a chance to prove a point.

“Definitely,” the outfielder said. “This has definitely been a down year overall. This is not the hitter I believe I am. There’s a lot to prove this last month.”

Ward is off to a good start, bringing a career-best 12-game hitting streak into Tuesday night’s game against the Dodgers. Ward has hit .292 with a .972 OPS during the streak.
