The bottom of the order strings together a couple of rallies to produce runs early in the game, and they score three late insurance runs to help close out a 7-3 victory.
SEATTLE — The Angels’ 7-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night provided a tidy summation of what they couldn’t do last season.
The Angels improved to 3-1, with enough encouraging signs throughout the night to pick up starter Reid Detmers when he wasn’t at his best. No. 8 hitter Luis Rengifo drove in both runs with singles. Rengifo, who said his approach has improved, also drew his fifth walk of the young season in the eighth. He was aboard for Ward’s homer.
Detmers has improved the velocity of all of his pitches, giving reason to believe that he might be primed for a performance even better than his 3.77 ERA in 25 starts in his rookie year.
