Detmers Extends Second-Half Surge as Angels Top Mariners 6-4

His seventh straight quality start moved him to 199 strikeouts, leaving a 200-strikeout season within reach.

Overview

  • The Angels beat the Mariners 6-4 in Anaheim, with Reid Detmers pitching six innings, allowing three runs on seven hits and striking out eight.
  • Jose Siri and Denzer Guzman each drove in two runs while Siri had three hits and scored twice to fuel Los Angeles' offense.
  • Cal Raleigh hit a three-run homer off Detmers in the fourth, but a perfect relay and 97.3 mph throw from Zach Neto erased an early Seattle run and helped stall the rally.
  • Seattle stranded six runners, went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position, and fell to 70-81 which widened their deficit in the AL West with 11 games left.
  • Detmers has been dominant since the All-Star break with an MLB-best 1.65 ERA in that span, he returned to the rotation this season after pitching in relief last year and is scheduled for two more starts that make the 200-strikeout mark likely.
