Patrick Sandoval Arte'd a four-hitter for his first career shutout, and the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Detroit Tigers 1-0 Friday night on Jared Walsh’s second-inning homer.
Sandoval (4-8, 3.14 ERA) ) struck out nine, walked none and didn’t allow a runner past first base as the Angels ended a three-game skid.
The 25-year-old left-hander retired 12 straight batters before Victor Reyes singled with one out in the ninth. Sandoval then got Riley Greene to ground into a game-ending double play, the third the Angels turned behind him.
The Tigers have the most anemic baseball, averaging 3.2 runs per game, but manager A.J. Hinch said Sandoval deserved all the credit.
Mike Trout returned to the Angels’ lineup after missing 28 games with rib cage inflammation. He went 1-for-4 with a single..
Shohei Ohtani, who totaled seven hits in his previous two games, went 0 for 3 with a walk. The two-way star is scheduled to pitch Sunday’s series finale.
Matt Manning took a tough-luck loss, working seven innings and allowing three hits and a walk as the Tigers dropped their 10th of 12 games.
Manning’s only mistake was a 1-0 changeup he left over the middle of the plate to Walsh, who sent it over the wall in right field.
