ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Ryan Johnson struck out five and allowed one run in
five solid innings, Jorge Soler and Zach Neto delivered RBI hits and the Los
Angeles Angels snapped a four-game skid with a 3-2 win over the Detroit Tigers
on Sunday.
Johnson (2-4) allowed two hits and walked three. The right-hander escaping a
basesloaded, two-out jam in the fifth when he struck out Dillon Dingler with an
82-mph sweeper. Samy Natera Jr., Chase Silseth and Sam Bachman worked scoreless
innings of relief.
Ryan Zeferjahn, who allowed just two earned runs in 19 1/3 innings of his
previous 18 games since June 1, gave up a homer to Riley Greene in the top of
the ninth as Detroit closed within 3-2. But, Zeferjhan retired the next three
batters and earned his third save.
Tigers reliever Drew Anderson (3-4) issued a pair of walks that set up the
Angels' tiebreaking rally in the fifth. Nolan Schanuel, who had three hits,
singled to load the bases, and Soler followed with an RBI groundout for a 2-1
lead.
The Angels pushed the lead to 3-1 in the sixth when Oswald Peraza singled,
stole second, took third on Tyler Heineman's groundout and scored on Neto's RBI
single to right.
Detroit starter Casey Mize allowed one run and five hits in 3 1/3 innings,
striking out five and walking one. He left after being struck on the left hand
by a 109-mph comebacker off the bat of Jo Adell in the fourth inning. Manager
A.J. Hinch said Mize sustained a bruised wrist and should be fine, and that the
pitcher was experiencing groin tightness and left the game as a precaution.
Tigers shortstop Kevin McGonigle hit his third leadoff homer of the season in
the first. The Angels tied it at 1 in the second when Vaughn Grissom led off
with a double, took third on Josh Lowe's sacrifice bunt and scored on Peraza's
RBI infield single.
