Reid Detmers News: Thriving in high-leverage role

Detmers earned a hold against Seattle on Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.

Detmers handled the seventh frame with the Angels up by two runs. The left-hander began the campaign working in a lower-leverage role and had a 10.05 ERA with no holds or saves through his first 12 appearances, but since then he's turned things around, surrendering just one run over his last 12 outings covering 13 innings while posting a 19:7 K:BB. He's become one of the Angels' top high-leverage options, picking up six holds and one save across his past nine appearances.
