Reid Detmers delivered a near‑perfect eight innings, fanning a career‑high 14 strikeouts while allowing just one run as the Los Angeles Angels edged the Texas Rangers 2‑1 Sunday night. Justin Foscue’s misplay in the ninth sealed the victory, giving the club its first Angels sweep of the season. The win snapped a recent 1‑9 stretch and significantly now lifting the Angels back into contention.

Detmers retired 24 of 25 batters, surrendering only Jake Burger’s second‑inning solo homer on a changeup. His 23 missed swings out of 51 swings matched Emerson Hancock for the most strikeouts in the majors this year. He became the second Angel, after Nolan Ryan, to record 14 Ks with one or fewer hits, joining a elite historical club.

Mike Trout supplied the lone run with a broken‑bat RBI single off MacKenzie Gore in the third, while late‑inning drama unfolded as Jorge Soler reached base and a botched throw by Foscue allowed Donovan Walton to score standing. The sweep ends the Angels’ slump and puts them a game above .500, sharpening their push for a playoff berth.
