Detroit TigersvsLos Angeles Angels
DET 7/LAA 0
Things to say
The Tigers shut out the Angels 7-0 on the road at Angel Stadium.
01
opener
Tigers rolled the Angels 7-nothing out in Anaheim. Never really close. Detroit's pitching just smothered them all night.
02
key player
Whoever Detroit ran out there tossed a gem, starter went seven and gave up nothing. That's an ace-level line, WHIP had to be tiny.
03
hot take
The Angels are 38-61 for a reason. They can't hit, they can't pitch, and getting shut out at home is just embarrassing.
04
deep cut
Detroit's the road team and put up a zero on the board defensively, that's a bullpen you trust in a pennant push. Angels never touched the heart of the order.
05
exit
Anyway, Tigers are climbing back toward .500 fast, curious what they do the rest of this series.
The recap
Detroit walked into Anaheim and slammed the door, 7-0, hanging a crooked number on the Angels and never letting them breathe. Whoever got the ball for the Tigers got into his stuff early and cruised, because a shutout on the road means the starter and the bullpen combined to keep the heart of the order off the bases all night.
The Angels, sitting at 38-61, couldn't scratch a single run across, and you could feel this one slipping away by the middle innings. Getaway day, quiet bats, and Detroit heads out of town with an easy seven-spot.
