Detmers (2-9) took the loss Friday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against Houston. He didn't strike out a batter.
Jon Singleton had not hit a big-league home run since 2015, but he knocked out two against Detmers, who was pulled following Singleton's third-inning blast. A rough July has turned into a disastrous August for Detmers, as he has allowed 14 earned runs in his last 6.1 innings. Friday's outing was also his first career appearance without a strikeout. Unless the Angels decide to go in a different direction, Detmers will next attempt to right the ship in a mid-week matchup against the Rangers in Arlington.
