SEATTLE — At various times throughout his still relatively short big league career, Reid Detmers has looked like one of the Angels best starters and one of their worst. He’s currently the latter, mired in a mystifying two-month slump. Detmers gave up five runs in the Angels’ 9-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, bloating his ERA to 6.14. Detmers had a 1.19 ERA over his first four starts, but he’s now followed that with an 8.93 mark over his last eight. He was shaky from the outset in this one, starting with a walk to the first hitter of the game. Detmers got through the first three inn ..read more

In the second half of May, Ohtani hit .196 (10 for 51) in 13 games, a drop-off which coincides with his hamstring injury. “He’s a finely-tuned machine, and sometimes in the context of a sports car, when it’s not firing on all cylinders, it just doesn’t run,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday. “When his back was bothering him a little bit, you saw some funkier swings, a little more chase. Hamstring bothering him a little bit, you see a little bit of the same thing.” Ohtani was hurt when he was hit by a pickoff throw against Cincinnati on ..read more
