Tigers score 8 runs in final 2 innings of 10-4 comeback win over Angels

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Dillon Dingler capped a five-run eighth inning with a
three-run homer, Javier Bez and Gleyber Torres each hit a solo shot in the
third, and the Detroit Tigers rallied for a 10-4 win over the skidding Los
Angeles Angels on Thursday night.
Spencer Torkelson added a two-run homer --- his ninth of the season --- in a
three-run ninth as Detroit improved to an American League-best 20-12 and sent
the Angels to their sixth straight loss.
After the game, the Angels announced that star outfielder Mike Trout will be
placed on the 10-day injured list again because of a bone bruise in his
surgically repaired left knee.
Tigers starter Casey Mize (5-1) gave up four runs and seven hits in seven
innings, including Logan O'Hoppe's solo homer in the second and Jorge Soler's
two-run shot in the third.
Detroit trailed 4-2 in the eighth when Torres, who had three hits, singled off
reliever Ryan Zeferjahn, who had retired the side in order in the seventh.
Angels manager Ron Washington summoned left-hander Reid Detmers (0-2), who
walked Riley Greene and gave up an RBI single to Andy Ibez.
Angels center fielder Jo Adell fumbled Ibez's hit for an error, allowing two
runners to advance. One out later, Zach McKinstry lined an RBI single that tied
it and Dingler, who had three hits, drove a 409-foot homer to left for a 7-4
lead.
Los Angeles left-hander Yusei Kikuchi gave up two runs and five hits in five
innings, striking out five and walking one.
The oft-injured Trout missed his first game of the season after being removed
from Wednesday's loss in Seattle with left knee soreness. He had two operations
to repair separate meniscus tears in the knee last year, limiting him to 29
games in a season cut short on April 29.
Key moment Bez, the Tigers' shortstop-turned-center fielder, made a leaping catch of Soler's fifth-inning drive above the yellow line on the right-center field wall to take away a home run. Key stat Soler's two-run shot in the third was the Angels' second homer with a runner on base since April 10. Of the team's 43 home runs this season, 33 have been solo shots. Up next Tigers LHP Tarik Skubal (3-2, 2.34 ERA), the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, starts Friday night against Angels RHP Jose Soriano (2-4, 4.50). ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
