Reid Detmers and Jose Siri lead last-place Angels to 6-4 victory over fading Mariners

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Reid Detmers struck out eight over six innings, and Jose Siri and Denzer Guzman each drove in two runs to help the Los Angeles Angels beat the fading Seattle Mariners 6-4 on Monday night.

Detmers (6-8) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk as third-place Seattle (70-81) dropped 5 1/2 games behind AL West-leading Houston with 11 to play.

Ryan Watson pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings and Ben Joyce walked two in the ninth before retiring J.P. Crawford on a lineout to first base for his fifth save.

Mike Trout had a one-out single in the first off Mariners rookie Kade Anderson (1-2). Siri hit an RBI double and stole third before scoring on Vaughn Grissom's sacrifice fly for a 2-0 lead.

Zach Neto added an RBI triple in the third before scoring on Siri's single to make it 4-0. Siri had three of the Angels' nine hits and scored twice.

Cal Raleigh hit his 22nd homer — a three-run shot off Detmers that cut it to 4-3 in the fourth. It was the first home run given up by Detmers in seven starts. The left-hander had allowed two runs in his previous 39 innings.

Cooper Criswell replaced Anderson with one on and one out in the fifth before Guzman drove in two with a two-out single for a 6-3 lead. Anderson was tagged for five runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Crawford hit his 12th homer — a solo shot off Blake Weiman in the seventh.

Mariners RHP Logan Gilbert (12-9, 3.72 ERA) starts Tuesday against Angels RHP Ryan Johnson (4-8, 5.12).
