Detmers

Detmers put together his most impressive start of the season, holding the Dodgers scoreless over six frames. He scattered just two hits and two walks, striking out six batters on 14 whiffs. The Angels couldn’t provide any run support as Detmers was one-upped by his counterpart, with Roki Sasaki going seven scoreless. Detmers comes away with a 4.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and an 88/24 K/BB ratio across 74 innings. He’ll take on the Astros in Anaheim on Wednesday.

Detmers surrendered a leadoff homer to Yandy Díaz, then stranded the bases loaded in a 32-pitch first inning. He settled in for three scoreless frames before giving up two more runs in the fifth. Detmers would complete the inning and end his day at 92 pitches. He generated 13 whiffs to collect seven strikeouts. The 26-year-old left-hander will take a 4.63 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and an 82/22 K/BB ratio across 68 innings into a start against the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on Friday.

Jake Burger hit a homer to start the second inning, but aside from that, Detmers retired all 24 batters he faced. He’s the first pitcher this year to retire 21 in a row in a game, and his 14 strikeouts matched the MLB season high for a pitcher, which was established by Seattle’s Emerson Hancock against the Royals on May 2. Detmers’ previous high for strikeouts was 12, which he’d done four times. It’s the ninth time in his career that he’s pitched at least seven innings and allowed no more than one earned run. Four of those have come against the Rangers. Detmers, currently 1-5 with a 4.57 ERA, will face the Rays next.

Detmers had retired the first seven A’s batters before unraveling in the third inning. With two runners on and two outs, he gave up five straight hits to bring six runs home. He hung in to give the Angels three more innings, pitching into the sixth. Detmers would depart with two outs and two runners on. Both inherited runners would come in to score. The 26-year-old left-hander will carry a 5.07 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and a 61/19 K/BB ratio across 55 innings into a start against the Rangers in Anaheim on Sunday.

Detmers gave up a leadoff homer to Angel Martínez in the bottom of the first and later fueled a couple of rallies with a pair of walks and a HBP. It’s not a horrible outing, but it’s just not enough for the Angels, who dropped to 2-7 in his starts. At this rate, he might finally get traded this summer. His 53/17 K/BB in 49 1/3 innings is pretty solid, and there are surely a few teams that would like to see if they could get more from him than his current 4.38 ERA. He’ll face the A’s next time out.

The left-hander ultimately surrendered two runs on two hits in the ballgame while striking out three. The damage done against him came in the third inning as the Jays put together two walks, two singles and a sacrifice fly to push a pair of runs across. Detmers got six swings and misses on 99 pitches in the contest, posting an underwhelming CSW of only 20 percent. Now 1-3 on the season, he’ll tote a 4.33 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and a 47/15 K/BB ratio (43 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Guardians in Cleveland.

Detmers limited the Mets to one run over six innings, but he gave up a couple more in the seventh to take away a chance of a win. The southpaw has had several outings look like this in 2026, which is neither a compliment nor an insult. The southpaw takes a 4.28 ERA into a scheduled start over the weekend against the Blue Jays, and similar results shouldn’t surprise anyone. This is just who Detmers is.

Detmers struck out five and allowed one run through five before giving up a two-run homer to Bobby Witt Jr. in the sixth. He was still in line for the win at that point, but the Angels coughed up the lead in the ninth. This leaves Detmers with a 4.28 ERA after six starts, though it seems like he should be doing better with his 36/9 K/BB and three homers allowed in 33 2/3 innings. He’ll face the Mets next weekend.

Detmers worked into the seventh, and was charged for his fourth and final run after exiting the game. The 26-year-old was able to strike out five against two walks in a start that looked better than the line suggested. Detmers will get a chance to lower his 4.08 ERA and improve his 1-2 record over the weekend in a scheduled bout versus the Royals in Kansas City.

The Angels had an opening to fill in their rotation and they’ll fill the void by having Walbert Urena take the ball on Sunday against the Padres. Unfortunately, it costs Detmers a two-start week this week, but he’ll now be lined up to make two starts (vs. Blue Jays, at Royals) at the expense of Jack Kochanowicz.
