ANAHEIM, Calif. — – Ryan Johnson<\/a> struck out five and allowed one run in five solid innings, Jorge Soler<\/a> and Zach Neto<\/a> delivered RBI hits and the Los Angeles Angels<\/a> snapped a four-game skid with a 3-2 win over the Detroit Tigers<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Johnson (2-4) allowed two hits and walked three. The right-hander escaping a basesloaded, two-out jam in the fifth when he struck out Dillon Dingler<\/a> with an 82-mph sweeper. Samy Natera Jr<\/a>., Chase Silseth<\/a> and Sam Bachman<\/a> worked scoreless innings of relief.<\/p>\n

Ryan Zeferjahn<\/a>, who allowed just two earned runs in 19 1\/3 innings of his previous 18 games since June 1, gave up a homer to Riley Greene<\/a> in the top of the ninth as Detroit closed within 3-2. But, Zeferjhan retired the next three batters and earned his third save.<\/p>\n

Tigers reliever Drew Anderson<\/a> (3-4) issued a pair of walks that set up the Angels’ tiebreaking rally in the fifth. Nolan Schanuel<\/a>, who had three hits, singled to load the bases, and Soler followed with an RBI groundout for a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n

The Angels pushed the lead to 3-1 in the sixth when Oswald Peraza<\/a> singled, stole second, took third on Tyler Heineman’s groundout and scored on Neto’s RBI single to right.<\/p>\n

Detroit starter Casey Mize<\/a> allowed one run and five hits in 3 1\/3 innings, striking out five and walking one. He left after being struck on the left hand by a 109-mph comebacker off the bat of Jo Adell<\/a> in the fourth inning. Manager A.J. Hinch said Mize sustained a bruised wrist and should be fine, and that the pitcher was experiencing groin tightness and left the game as a precaution.<\/p>\n

Tigers shortstop Kevin McGonigle<\/a> hit his third leadoff homer of the season in the first. The Angels tied it at 1 in the second when Vaughn Grissom<\/a> led off with a double, took third on Josh Lowe’s sacrifice bunt and scored on Peraza’s RBI infield single.<\/p>\n
