ARLINGTON, Texas — A nice performance by Reid Detmers was erased within a span of a couple minutes with Jimmy Herget on the mound.
Not long after Detmers escaped a jam to get through the sixth inning, Herget allowed three runs in the seventh on back-to-back homers, sending the Angels to a 6-3 loss to the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night.
Entering in a 1-1 game, Herget hung a change-up to Marcus Semien, who banked it off the left-field pole for a two-run homer. Herget’s next pitch was a slider that Corey Seager hit out to right field. The Rangers then padded the lead with two runs against Tucker Davidson in the eighth.
