ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Reid Detmers was nearly perfect for eight innings while striking out a career-high 14, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Texas Rangers 2-1 Sunday night on Justin Foscue’s ninth-inning throwing error for their first series sweep this season.<\/p>\n
Detmers retired 24 of 25 batters, allowing a home run to Jake Burger on a changeup leading off the second. He induced 23 misses among 51 swings and his strikeouts tied Seattle’s Emerson Hancock on May 2 against Kansas City for the most in the major leagues this season.<\/p>\n
Mike Trout tied the score with a broken-bat RBI single off MacKenzie Gore in the third.<\/p>\n
After Sam Bachman (1-0) struck out Burger to strand the bases loaded in the ninth, Jorge Soler singled against Gavin Collyer (1-1) with one out in the bottom half. Jo Adell was hit by a pitch, Donovan Walton pinch ran for Soler and Oswald Peraza flared a potential double-play, one-hopper over the mound.<\/p>\n
Foscue fielded the ball near second and juggled the ball as pulled it out of his glove for a throw while stepping on the base. His throw to first bounced away from Burger, and Walton scored standing up.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles’ sweep followed a 1-9 skid.<\/p>\n
Rangers: RHP Kumar Rocker (2-4, 3.60 ERA) will oppose Astros RHP Tatsuya Imai (1-3, 8.31) at Houston on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Angels: RHP Jack Kochanowicz (2-3, 4.55 ERA) will face Tigers RHP Keider Montero (2-3, 3.83) at Detroit Tuesday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ANAHEIM, Calif.
