The Angels never advanced a runner past first base on Wednesday night at Comerica Park and lost to Detroit in decisive fashion, 4-0.
The Angels’ first hit was a second-inning single by Martin Maldonado. Their next hit was Andrelton Simmons’ two-out single in the third. Their last hit was Albert Pujols’ single to begin the seventh, which was immediately erased by Yunel Escobar’s double-play groundout on the proceeding pitch.
That and two walks were it for the club’s offense, though they faced a Detroit spot starter named Buck Farmer and select relievers from the Tigers’ beleaguered bullpen.
