ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- 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.
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.
Mike Trout tied the score with a broken-bat RBI single off MacKenzie Gore in
the third.
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.
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.
Los Angeles' sweep followed a 1-9 skid.
