The Angels had lost 12 of 14 and were 1-8 going into the last game of their trip before rookie Jack Kochanowicz pitched six scoreless innings.
Zach Neto homered, rookie Jack Kochanowicz pitched six scoreless innings and the Angels ended a seven-game losing streak with a 3-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. The Angels had lost 12 of 14 and were 1-8 going into the last game of their trip. Detroit, which had won six straight, left 10 runners on base. Kochanowicz was spectacular in his sixth major-league start, allowing five hits in six innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.
Tigers reliever Joey Wentz had a tough seventh, getting hit by two hard comebackers in a span of three pitches. With two out, Mike Stefanic hit a 95-mph hopper up the middle that bounced off Wentz’s pitching wrist for an infield single. Wentz stayed in the game after throwing some warmup pitches, but Ward then hit a 96-mph grounder off Wentz’s shin that knocked him to the ground.
