The Halos improved to 3-14 in July after snapping a five-game losing streak on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Angels have been struggling for most of the last two months, and Reid Detmers credits his teammates with staying the course and not getting too frustrated.
Max Stassi went 3 for 4 and drove in three runs, and Ward had three hits for the Angels, who improved to 3-14 this month and snapped a five-game skid. They had dropped 14 of 16 and were a season-worst 16 games under .500. Braves manager Brian Snitker was still pleased that his team won the three-game series even though starter Ian Anderson struggled badly Sunday.
"Huge. It's a confidence booster," Detmers said."Once we scored those five, we scored runs the whole game. It just kind of loosened everyone up and kept us going." Detmers retired seven in a row and nine of 10 after striking out Acuña to end the third. His only blemish was a walk to Matt Olson in the first before Dansby Swanson scratched out the first Braves hit with a single leading off the fourth. Detmers got Orlando Arcia to ground out to strand the bases loaded in the inning.Stassi, a catcher, believes Detmers has rediscovered the formula that helped him throw a no-hitter two months ago.
"It's been tough all season honestly," Anderson said."Just not performing the way I want to. It's probably the worst stretch of baseball that I've had in my life. It's been frustrating, but the team is playing good baseball. It's still fun to be around and be a part of it."
