Davis Daniel stifles Tigers in 1st start as Angels win 4th in a row

ANAHEIM — The Angels continued to raise the stakes on Thursday night, turning a first-time start, three home runs and two stolen bases into a 5-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

Davis Daniel’s first appearance of the season was his first ever turn in the rotation as he filled up the strike zone while helping the Angels match a season high with their fourth consecutive victory.

Daniel, who had just three relief appearances last season to his credit, went eight scoreless innings with no walks and eight strikeouts.
