He's the first Angels pitcher to do that since Nolan Ryan in 1972-73.“Last couple games have been a little rough but it is nice to go out there and the W,” Detmers said. “My stuff wasn’t the best. It was there when I needed to be and that’s really all I can ask for.
Trout put the Angels on the board with a drive to center off Gallen with one out in the first inning. It was the All-Star center fielder’s 18th of the year but his first at home since June 7. “Looking at the scouting report and video before the game, he liked to go to that low breaking ball," Moniak said."I was still trying to just put the ball in play but I was able to recognize the spin and put a good swing on it.”
