BOSTON — Reid Detmers struck out nine and allowed one hit over six shutout innings, Zach Neto was 4 for 5 with a two-run homer, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Red Sox 6-1 on Tuesday night to end Boston’s five-game win streak.<\/p>\n
Vaughn Grissom and Jose Siri hit RBI singles and the Angels scored twice on double-play grounders, providing ample offense for Detmers (5-8), who got his first win since a 1-0 decision over Kansas City on Aug. 15.<\/p>\n
Detmers struck out at least one in all six innings he pitched and allowed only three runners. He retired the last 10 batters he faced after hitting Jahmai Jones with a pitch in the third, then was pulled before the seventh after throwing a career-high 112 pitches. <\/p>\n
The Angels outhit Boston 15-4 and won for the just the third time in their last 15 games. Los Angeles also avoided a potential season sweep, improving to 1-4 against the Red Sox. <\/p>\n
Boston went without a hit from Wilyer Abreu\u2019s single in the first until Trevor Story led off the seventh with a double off of Jos\u00e9 Fermin, who allowed Boston\u2019s run when Nick Sogard drove in Story with a single. <\/p>\n
Neto gave the Angels a cushion in the eighth with his 24th homer to left-center off of Raymond Burgos. <\/p>\n
Patrick Sandoval (1-5) struck out seven in six innings for Boston, but also allowed four runs on 10 hits and two walks. His two-out walk of Mike Trout in the third helped lead to two runs when Siri and Grissom followed with consecutive singles to put the Angels up 3-1. <\/p>\n
RHP Ryan Johnson (3-8, 5.17 ERA) starts for the Angels against LHP Jake Bennett (9-6, 3.34) in the finale of the three-game series on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
