Result: Loss
Kansas City at LA Angels 9:30 ET
Angels over Royals- Reid Detmers and Michael Wacha, who will face each other Thursday night when the Los Angeles Angels host the Kansas City Royals in Anaheim, Calif. are a pair of starting pitchers who are eager to redeem themselves after a poor performance on the mound. Detmers, the Angels' left-hander, will try to rediscover the success he had early in the season when he was 3-0 with a 1.19 ERA in his first four starts. But in his last three starts, he's 0-3 with an 8.15 ERA.  Detmers (3-3, 4.24 ERA) has surrendered five home runs in 17 2/3 innings in those three most recent starts, compared to zero homers allowed in 22 2/3 innings of his first four starts. Detmers is 0-0 with a 5.91 ERA in two career starts against the Royals. KC right-hander Wacha (1-4, 5.50) has struggled most of the season, with his only win coming against the lowly Chicago White Sox a seven-inning, scoreless effort on April 6. Wacha has been dominant against the Angels in his career, going 3-0 with a 0.44 ERA in three starts. Take LA ANGELS!
