The Detroit Tigers have struggled to win in Anaheim in recent years, and their difficulties continued tonight, as they were shut out for the second time in 2015. The Tigers managed just four hits and four walks on the evening, wasting a solid start from Anibal Sanchez.
After three scoreless innings, the Angels finally got to Sanchez in the fourth inning. Mike Trout singled with one out, but was caught stealing by James McCann with Albert Pujols at the plate. Sanchez gave up singles to Pujols and Kole Calhoun, then walked David Freese to load the bases.
