ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Rafael Devers’ error at third base allowed the Angels to score two runs in the sixth inning, and Los Angeles snapped a five-game winning streak by the Boston Red Sox with a 2-1 victory Saturday night.
Reid Detmers (2-0) matched his career high with 12 strikeouts over six sharp innings for the Angels, who have won five of six. Four Los Angeles pitchers combined on a three-hitter, with Carlos Estévez working the ninth for his third save.
“We were attacking the strike zone, getting guys to swing early,” Estévez said after the quartet racked up 14 strikeouts.
