The Tigers, and west coast trips, do just not agree. Jose Ureña struggled again, the Tigers were carved up by a resurgent Alex Cobb, and they’ll now have to take both games on the weekend to split the series as they went down hard, 11-3 in Anaheim.
In each of the first two innings, the Tigers got multiple runners on base, but simply could not capitalize on anything. The Angels got on the board when Ureña walked Max Stassi, wild pitched him to second, and after punching out Jose Iglesias, surrendered an RBI single to Kean Wong. A walk to Justin Upton in the third inning also produced a run when Taylor Ward doubled with two outs.
