Josh Hamilton 'working very hard' to improve

Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton had a frustrating game at the plate Tuesday against the Mariners. Hamilton, who is batting .213, grounded into three double plays and struck out twice.

"It's been tough,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said, per the Los Angeles Times. "I don't think anyone feels this more than Josh, and I don't think there's anyone more confident in his ability than Josh. He's been working very hard in drills, hopefully making strides and getting there. He takes his lack of production very hard, very seriously."

Hamilton is batting .200 (11 for 55) with two home runs, six doubles, six RBI, 11 runs and 12 strikeouts in his last 12 games.
