We got Reid Detmers tonight. So how did he do? He was dealing!

Here is the Angels fielding alignment.

Inning #1

Reid Detmers struck out the side in the first inning. Anthony Rendon started the Angels offense with a single. He tried to steal second but was called out. Schanuel bounced out to first. Mike Trout walked but Taylor Ward struck out to end the inning.

Inning #2

Tyler O’Neill walked but Detmers struck out the other three Red Sox players who stepped up in the second inning. Hicks struck out but O’Hoppe reached on an infield hit off the glove of the shortstop Reyes. Luis Rengifo lined out to right. Mickey Moniak walked but Zach Neto grounded to short for a force out to end the inning.

Inning #3

It took ten pitches, but Anthony Rendon struck out looking. Nolan Schanuel lined out to first. Mike Trout struck out. Hey! That rhymes.

Inning #5

Three up, three down for the Red Sox. Zach Neto singled through the left side to start things off for the Angels. Anthony Rendon lined out to center and then Zach Neto stole second while Schanuel batted. He was originally called out but the Angels won a challenge for the time being. Maybe New York based MLB will re-overturn that call six days from now. Who knows?

Nolan Schanuel walked. Greg Weissert came in to replace Garrett Whitlock facing Mike Trout who lined out to left. Taylor Ward flied out to right. Oh well.

Inning #6

It was three up, three down for Boston again. Mostly it was strikeouts. Aaron Hicks then struck out. Logan O’Hoppe popped out. Luis Rengifo singled to bring up Mickey Moniak. Rengifo had been apparently caught stealing, but the Angels won another challenge at second base to keep the inning alive.

Mickey Moniak walked to bring up Zach Neto. Isaiah Campbell came in to pitch for Greg Weissert and Zach Neto proceeded to single and load the bases for Anthony Rendon. Stop the presses! Anthony Rendon reached on a fielding error by Rafael Devers. Rengifo and Moniak both scored. 2-1 Angels.
