7-0 Rout in Phoenix: Reid Detmers Looked Like an Ace and the Angels Bats Are On Fire!

Holy smokes, you guys see what went down in Phoenix last night? The Angels came into Chase Field and absolutely torched the Diamondbacks 7-0! This wasn't just a win, it was a total shutdown, a masterclass on both sides of the ball. Reid Detmers was dealing, and the Angels' bats, well, they were just straight-up mashing. If you weren't watching, you missed a clinic.

Detmers Puts On a Seven-Inning Show

Let's talk about Reid Detmers first because, wow. The dude was dialed in. He went a ridiculous seven shutout innings, giving up just three hits the entire game. Three! He struck out three D-backs hitters, and get this, didn't walk a single batter. You want to talk about efficiency? Detmers threw first-pitch strikes to 19 of the 24 hitters he faced. That's a pitcher in total control, even if his record only sits at 3-5 after this gem. He was practically unhittable, just carving up that Arizona lineup. And give credit where it's due, the defense backed him up, too. Zach Neto made a sweet backhand play in the third to start a 6-4-3 double play when the D-backs had something brewing. Detmers even struck out Corbin Carroll with runners on the corners to end the sixth, shutting down any hope Arizona had.

ntless. They put up a season-high 11 hits and dropped seven runs on Merrill Kelly, who only lasted 5 1/3 innings for Arizona, giving up six of those runs. Zach Neto had himself a night with a homer and a triple. Mike Trout went deep with a homer and added a double. Logan O'Hoppe chipped in with three hits, while Denzer Guzman contributed two hits and scored two runs. Donovan Walton finished with two hits and two RBIs. The Angels scored in the second after Jo Adell doubled and Wade Meckler singled him in for the 1-0 lead. Neto crushed a solo shot in the third to make it 2-0. They tacked on another in the fourth with an infield single from Guzman, an O'Hoppe double, and a Walton single, pushing it to 3-0. Then, in the fifth, Neto tripled, and Trout stepped up and absolutely crushed a two-run homer for a 5-0 lead. The hits just kept coming, with Trout hitting another double in the sixth for a 6-0 lead and Walton closing it out with an RBI ground-rule double in the eighth, bringing the final to 7-0. This team is finding its groove, winning five of their last seven games, and after this performance, you gotta believe they're feeling good. This kind of dominant performance, both on the mound and at the plate, is exactly what the Angels need early in the season to build some momentum. They're clearly gelling, and it's exciting to see what they can do next. Hopefully, they can keep this energy going in their next game!
