ANAHEIM, Calif. — Reid Detmers’ encouraging second half hit a snag on Friday night.
The Los Angeles Angels’ rookie left-hander had been one of the team’s most pleasant stories since rediscovering his slider two months ago, but he struggled through a rough outing in a 4-2 loss to the Houston Astros.
Detmers, 23, came into the game with a 3.47 ERA and a no-hitter on his resume in 2022. He had a 1.97 ERA in his previous eight starts, since his one-start return to Triple-A.
