Angels

Jose Siri won the game by singling in automatic runner Nick Madrigal in the 10th. O’Hoppe’s homer off Peter Lambert was just his third in 45 games this season. The fractured wrist he suffered in April seems to have sapped his power, but it might be coming around now; since Monday, four of his five balls in play have been hit hard (not counting tonight’s sac bunt). Tonight’s homer left the bat at 107.7 mph and was projected at 423 feet.

Detmers might have been this pitcher two or three years ago if drafted into a healthier organization, but better late than never. He has a 97/24 K/BB in 81 innings, and while his ERA still sits at 4.00, the estimators have him right around 3.00, which is how he’ll be valued if the Angels finally trade him this summer. He’ll face Arizona next Tuesday.

Zeferjahn struck out two, intentionally walked Joey Loperfido and then got Shay Whitcomb to ground out to strand the automatic runner. That he’s unintentionally walked 21 batters in 31 2/3 innings this season has held him back, but he has an argument for being the Angels’ best reliever. It’d just a better one if he could be trusted at all to throw strikes.

Schanuel receives some additional time off to rest and recover after making an early exit from Tuesday’s game with left calf tightness following a hit-by-pitch. The 24-year-old figures to be ready for Friday’s series opener against the Rays. It’ll be veteran Trey Mancini drawing another start at first base in his absence.

Porter winds up in Los Angeles just a few days after signing a minor league contract with the club. The 30-year-old will serve as Logan O’Hoppe’s caddy with Sebastián Rivero hitting the injured list with a hamate fracture.

Rivero is facing an extended absence after suffering a dreaded hamate fracture on a swing during Tuesday’s contest against the Astros. The 27-year-old backstop had recorded hits in seven consecutive plate appearances prior to the injury. He’s likely to miss at least one month in a best-case scenario after undergoing surgery next week.

Kochanowicz is set to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery after hitting the injured list with elbow inflammation last weekend. The 25-year-old is likely to miss a significant portion of next season given the timing of the procedure, which typically carries a 12-18 month recovery timeline.

Porter was just signed to a minor league deal on Friday, but will now be activated after Sebastian Rivero got hurt on Tuesday night. The Angels will need to make a move to free up a spot on the 40-man roster, but it would likely just be moving Jack Kochanowicz to the 60-day injured list.

Meckler reached on an error in the first inning and scored on a groundout. He then drove in two runs on a double in the second before scoring again. After drawing a walk in the fourth, he reached for a fourth time on his third walk in the eighth and scored a third run. The 26-year-old outfielder has been outstanding as the strong side of a platoon in left field, hitting .340/.417/.547 with two homers, 10 runs scored, and 12 RBI across 60 plate appearances.

Adell drew a walk in the first inning, then doubled to drive in two runs in part of a five-run second inning for the Angels. He later singled and scored again in the eighth. The 27-year-old outfielder is slashing .243/.287/.392 with 10 homers, 29 runs scored, and 39 RBI across 282 plate appearances.
