Detmers throws 6 shutout innings as the Angels beat the Mariners 7-5
Reid Detmers struck out seven and allowed two hits in six innings as Los Angeles built a 5-0 lead and held off Seattle’s late rally.
On Friday, the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Seattle Mariners 7-5 behind six shutout innings from starting pitcher Reid Detmers.
The 27-year-old Detmers completed one of the best Angels seasons in a decade, posting a 3.36 ERA over 32 starts and surpassing 180 innings pitched for the first time since 2018.
Wade Meckler finished a home run short of the cycle with four hits, while Christian Moore contributed a three-run homer and center fielder Bryce Teodosio made multiple leaping catches to preserve the lead.
Relief pitchers Sam Bachman and Luke Murphy allowed three runs in the late innings, but Tayler Saucedo secured the final outs to preserve the 7-5 victory.
With two games remaining, the 62-98 Angels aim to avoid a 100-loss season. "We're playing for our dignity," Zach Neto said before the game.
