Reid Detmers Likely Done After 8 Scoreless Innings, 11 Ks — Angels Yet to Score

Reid Detmers turned in one of the cleaner pitching lines you'll see, and the Angels may have nothing to show for it.

Per Rhett Bollinger, the Angels beat reporter, Detmers was likely finished after eight scoreless innings on 92 pitches, having struck out 11 batters without issuing a single walk. The problem, per the report: Los Angeles had yet to score.

What we don't know yet

Bollinger's report does not specify whether Detmers was removed or simply expected to be done given the pitch count. The final outcome of the game — and whether the Angels' offense eventually broke through — was not addressed in the report.

The bullpen picture

Should the Angels need to protect a scoreless tie, they have Michael Fulmer available, having recently had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of this series against the Kansas City Royals.

Detmers' outing is the kind that makes a box score look like a misprint — 11 strikeouts, no walks, no runs allowed through eight innings is a genuinely rare line. Whether it translates to a win depends entirely on a lineup that, per the report, had not yet done its part.
