How do the Angels turn things around? Keep the ‘same attitude, same effort, same focus’

LA Times  

Phil Nevin did not leave Angel Stadium when he typically would after Sunday’s game. “Yesterday’s over, today’s a new day,” outfielder Mickey Moniak said Monday, adding: “We got the guys; things are gonna start turning here soon.” The outcome on Monday was a 4-3, 10-inning win over the New York Yankees, a team also experiencing struggles and injuries to star players of late. It was the Angels’ second win in three games, which came on the heels of a 1-10 stretch that dropped the Angels below.500 for the first time since April 24. On the flip side, the recent performance of left-hander Reid Detmers, despite a 2-6 record, offers a glimpse of what’s needed if the Angels expect to turn things around. Right-hander Griffin Canning, for his part, followed suit by pitching into the sixth inning Monday night and striking out 12 in the Angels’ eventual win over the Yankees.
