    Angels’ slumping Taylor Ward gets extra work against live pitching
    ANAHEIM — Long before any of his Angels teammates hit the field for pregame work on Tuesday, Taylor Ward was out there grinding at-bats against an Angels minor-league pitcher.
    Ward has been in a deep slump. He wanted some extra work in game-like conditions, so the Angels brought in one of their low-level minor leaguers to face him.
    Manager Ron Washington said Ward saw about 35 to 40 pitches.
    “He hit some of them pretty good and some of them he got beat,” Washington said. &ldquo
