Angels Search for Stability One Reliever at a Time
Los Angeles enters the weekend still experimenting with a relief corps that owns a 5.75 ERA and has surrendered a major-league-worst 37 homers. The lone constant is closer Kenley Jansen, a perfect 12-for-12 in save chances, but the brighter storyline is the renaissance of left-hander Reid Detmers. The former no-hit wonder has allowed just one run over his past 11 innings out of the bullpen, even earning his first career save on Tuesday. Detmers has shelved his change-up, relying instead on a fastball/slider/curve mix that plays up in shorter bursts and has management quietly debating a return to the rotation once his workload stretches. For now that spot belongs to veteran Kyle Hendricks, whose 5.34 ERA makes Friday’s assignment against Seattle pivotal for his job security.
Mariners Ride Cal Raleigh’s Historic Pace
Seattle arrives having dropped six of eight, yet catcher Cal Raleigh remains the lineup’s gravitational force. His 24 homers lead the majors after Thursday’s blast in Baltimore, nudging him past Shohei Ohtani and all but guaranteeing an invitation to next month’s Home Run Derby. Sixteen of those bombs have come off right-handed pitching, a trend he’ll test against Hendricks’ sinker/change profile. The Mariners counter on the mound with Bryce Miller, whose high-octane fastball produced a 5-3 win over these Angels on April 29 and has helped him craft a 1.30 ERA in five career starts versus Los Angeles. Seattle’s three-game slide makes Miller’s ability to work deep essential for a bullpen showing early-season fatigue.
Pitching Matchup Sets the Tone
Hendricks, 35, signed a one-year “prove-it” deal after a decade in Chicago and has flashed vintage command only sporadically. His lone career meeting with Seattle came five years ago, but Angelenos recall it fondly: one run on three hits over six frames. Miller, meanwhile, owns one of the sharper four-seamers in the American League; opponents are hitting just .212 against the pitch, and his whiff rate climbs above 30 percent when he spots it at the letters. The duel should dictate whether Friday unfolds as another late-inning scramble for the Angels’ patchwork pen or an opportunity to ride Jansen in a tidy ninth.
