Reid Detmers Takes the Mound as Angels Fight to Even Series Against Red-Hot Braves
The Los Angeles Angels are looking to bounce back after a bench-clearing brawl derailed their Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves. With Reid Detmers on the bump Wednesday, the Angels have a chance to grab a series win in Anaheim, but they'll have to do it without Jorge Soler after he got ejected in the fifth inning following the fight with Braves starter Reynaldo Lopez.
Chaos in the Fifth Changes the Game
Things went sideways fast on Tuesday when Soler and Lopez got into it in the bottom of the fifth, leading to both players getting thrown out. The Braves wound up winning that game anyway, which means the Angels are now chasing from behind in this series matchup. Getting two key guys kicked out of a game is exactly the kind of momentum shift you don't want when you're trying to string together wins early in the season.

Now Detmers gets the ball with a chance to turn things around. For the Angels to get a series win, they'll need solid pitching and to stay out of trouble. The Braves clearly have some momentum rolling right now, so the Angels can't afford to beat themselves with ejections or other self-inflicted wounds.
First pitch is coming, and the Angels need Detmers to deliver.
