The Los Angeles Angels are fighting hard to avoid having a record that is ten games or more under .500 after a brutal month of August and shaky beginning to September. The wheels are falling off for many of the team's major contributors -- Yusei Kikuchi and José Soriano both got shelled in their most recent starts, Zach Neto is slumping to the point where he needed to be given an off day recently to help alleviate his struggles, Mike Trout has not gained any ground in his race for 400 home runs in almost a month and Nolan Schanuel and Logan O'Hoppe are both on the injured list.
