The Angels had only managed 13 runs in the previous seven games, so the three runs off eight hits they put up Wednesday actually wasn’t bad, but not good enough to avoid their fifth straight loss. Hunter, who has spent most of the season in the clean-up spot, is going to have a very different role batting second, and it’s definitely going to hurt his RBI numbers. However, he could see a spike in runs, if anyone can actually drive him in, that is (in the seven games before Wednesday’s loss, the Angels were hitting .190 with runners in scoring position).

Colorado responded by bumping the 25-year-old up to Triple-A this season. Well, his adjustment period is kicking in now. Pacheco had a fine start, batting almost .330 in April, but he suffered a concussion after getting hit in the head with a pitch on May 5, missing a good chunk of the month. He hasn’t quite been the same since, recording an OPS of just 579 in May, and batting only .214 so far in June.

So two months into the season, Cain remains at Triple-A and he continues to put up strong numbers. He’s gone a bit chilly lately, with hitless efforts in two of his last three games, but after getting off to a slow start, Cain blazed in May, batting .321 with 21 runs, 16 extra-base hits and a 900 OPS. He’s only swiped five bases so far, but is showing more extra-base power than he did last season. Cain, 25, was the Brewers’ 17th round pick in 2004 and is considered a top-notch athlete that brings a superb glove and great speed to the table.
