3-5 - Angels ding Detwiler with deep ball, Texas topped in opener

Things looked so good after the first inning. Ross Detwiler pitched a 1-2-3 top of the first and the Rangers were up 3-0 after the bottom of the inning. The Rangers' anemic offense stalled out -- collecting just three hits the rest of the night after four Rangers had a hit five batters into the game -- and didn't plate another run all evening. It was only a matter of time as the Angels showed why Detwiler is probably better suited for the bullpen as they pinned five runs on him the second time through the order.
