Tigers Lose To Angels 12-7
DETROIT (AP) - Mark Trumbo homered and drove in a career-high five runs to lead the Los Angeles Angels over the Detroit Tigers 12-7 on Thursday.
Trumbo also tripled, doubled and scored three times in the rookie's fourth three-hit game. Needing just a single for the cycle, he grounded out leading off the ninth inning.
Bobby Cassevah (1-0) worked 2 1-3 scoreless innings of relief for the win.
Trumbo hit a two-run homer in the Angels' three-run second. He tripled in the fourth and doubled in the seventh.
Los Angeles led 7-6 after six innings, then scored five times in the seventh. Tigers reliever David Purcey started the inning, but gave up a single and two walks without getting an out. Phil Coke came on and allowed a two-run single to Howie Kendrick and Trumbo's two-run double.
