Twins lose lead and game to Angels as Griffin Jax falters in relief

ANAHEIM, Calif. — For six innings Friday night, Reid Detmers and Joe Ryan kept baseballs all but unhittable.

Detmers held the Minnesota Twins without a hit until Byron Buxton lined a two-out single in the sixth inning, yet Ryan left with a lead for the eighth time in nine starts once the Twins pounded Angels relievers Jimmy Herget and Tucker Davidson. But Griffin Jax surrendered three hits, including an RBI triple to Mickey Montiak, in the Angels' two-run seventh and the Twins walked away with yet another painful loss, 5-4 at Angels Stadium.
