Reid Detmers allowed one hit and struck out nine over six innings to lead the Angels to a 6-1 win in Game 2 of their three-game series against the Red Sox last night. Zach Neto went collected four of the Angels 15 hits including his 24th home run to pace the Halos’ attack that jumped Patrick Sandoval and sent him to the showers after allowing ten hits and four runs over just six innings. Boston managed just four hits in the game. The loss for the Sox snapped their five-game winning streak and dropped them to seven back in the AL East and saw their hold on a Wild Card spot drop to seven games as well. The win pulled the Angels to within 2.5 games of the Athletics and fourth in the AL West.
Ryan Johnson (3-8, 5.17 ERA) takes the ball for the Angels in the series finale today. The rookie has enjoyed a strong second half of the season. In his last six starts covering 32.1 innings, the righthander has allowed six runs and has not allowed even two runs in but one of the six starts. In his most recent start last Friday, Johnson allowed one run over six innings in Pittsburgh. Jake Bennett (9-6, 3.34 ERA) has been consistent all season and special at times.
