'Same story' as struggling Tigers lose series opener to Angels

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Andrelton Simmons homered and made more than one spectacular defensive play. Eric Young Jr. homered and made a phenomenal play with his glove as well.

The Angels' star shortstop was more than willing to cede the spotlight to his journeyman teammate after a revitalizing win for Los Angeles.

Simmons hit a two-run homer and dazzled in the field to lead the Angels to a 6-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night.

Young hit his first homer of the season, drove in two runs and made a diving catch in deep center field to end the eighth inning for the Angels, who won for just the second time in eight games.
