Detmers (3-3) took the loss against Cleveland on Saturday, allowing seven runs on five hits and four walks while striking out seven batters over 5.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Detmers entered the sixth inning with a quality start still in sight, as he had allowed three runs to that point. However, the left-hander got himself into trouble by walking three batters in the frame, and Bo Naylor made the hurler pay with a grand slam to blow the game open. The seven runs, three homers and four free passes were all season-worst marks for Detmers, who was tagged with his third consecutive loss. The 24-year-old looked to be on his way to a breakout campaign by posting a 1.19 ERA and 30:7 K:BB over 22.2 innings across his first four starts, but he's stumbled since, allowing 16 earned runs and recording a 14:7 K:BB over 17.2 frames in his past three outings.

Detmers (3-2) yielded five runs on nine hits over five innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Detmers fired three perfect innings before the Twins broke the scoreless tie in the fourth inning. He ran into more trouble in the fifth, coughing up four runs on five hits. After an incredible start to his season in which he produced a 30:7 K:BB and 1.19 ERA through four starts, Detmers has taken two straight losses, yielding nine runs in 12 innings. His ERA climbed to 3.12, but he still owns a strong 37:10 K:BB through 34.2 frames. Detmers is projected for a road start in Cleveland next weekend.

Detmers (3-1) took the loss against Baltimore on Monday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four batters over seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
Detmers surrendered four extra-base hits, including two homers, among the six knocks the Orioles managed against him, and he tied his season low with a modest four punchouts. Still, the southpaw registered his longest start of the campaign with seven frames to help the Angels stay close, but the team couldn't complete a ninth-inning rally that could have taken him off the hook for his first loss. Despite the defeat, Detmers has had an overall strong start to the campaign, posting a 2.12 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 34:10 K:BB through 29.2 innings.

Detmers didn't factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on seven hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against the Rays. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Although Detmers didn't reach seven strikeouts for the first time all season, he surrendered one earned run of fewer for a fourth straight outing. After seeing his K/9 jump up to 10.2 in 2023, Detmers has taken another step forward in the category with an 11.9 K/9 through 22.2 innings. The southpaw is tentatively scheduled to face the Orioles on Monday for his next start.

Detmers (3-0) earned the win Friday over the Red Sox, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out seven over 6.1 scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
It was another excellent outing from Detmers, who's held opponents to one run or fewer while striking out at least seven in each of his first three starts. The 24-year-old southpaw lowered his ERA to a stellar 1.04 with a 0.81 WHIP and 26 strikeouts, tied for second-most in the majors, through 17.1 innings. Detmers looks poised to take a significant step forward after posting a mediocre 4.48 ERA in 28 starts last season. He's currently in line to face the Rays on the road in his next outing.

Detmers (2-0) earned the win over Boston on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out 12 batters over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Detmers induced a whopping 21 whiffs in the outing and tied a career high with 12 punchouts. The left-hander looked even better than he did in his first start of the season, when he picked up a win with five innings of one-run ball against Baltimore. Detmers has shown flashes of excellence in the majors in the past -- most impressively, he pitched a no-hitter against Tampa Bay in 2022 -- but he had a disappointing season last year, posting a 4.48 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 28 starts. However, he could be primed for a breakout campaign based on his first two starts of 2024 -- so far, he's allowed just two runs over 11 innings while racking up an impressive 19:4 K:BB.

Detmers (1-0) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run, two hits and three walks over five innings against the Orioles. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
After the Orioles bludgeoned the Angels pitching staff for 24 runs over the first two games, Detmers stopped the bleeding with his first win of the season in a brilliant outing. He relied heavily on his fastball, throwing it 60.2 percent of the time and generating 12 whiffs against the vaunted Orioles lineup. Detmers managed to generate 24 strikeouts over 18.1 innings in spring training, so it's possible the former 10th overall pick is finding a new level. He is scheduled to face another AL East foe, the Red Sox, at home for his next start.

Detmers pitched 1.2 innings in a Cactus League start against San Diego on Friday, allowing two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out two batters.
EDGE Analysis
Spring training is generally a time to shake off rust, so Detmers' struggles shouldn't be read into too deeply. Still, it wasn't a promising performance from a hurler who is trying to bounce back from a disappointing 2023 campaign. Detmers' 9.3 percent walk rate last season was in the 35th percentile leaguewide, and improving upon that number could be key in allowing him to reach the potential the Angels assessed when selecting him 10th overall in the 2020 First-Year Player Draft. His next opportunity to pitch this spring will likely come Wednesday.

Detmers is not listed as Sunday's starter against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels will give Carson Fulmer the ball Sunday, and given that Detmers hasn't followed an opener all season, it would seem that he is done for the year. The 24-year-old southpaw logged a 4.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 168 strikeouts and four wins over 148.2 innings.

Detmers (4-10) allowed a run on four hits and four walks while striking out seven over seven innings to earn the win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Detmers ended a five-start winless skid with a solid outing, though the four walks matched his season high. This was the fifth time he'd gone seven frames in an appearance this season, and it was only the second time he's won such a start. For the year, the southpaw is at a 4.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 168:60 K:BB through 148.2 innings over 28 starts. Detmers could get one more start at home versus the Athletics on normal rest, but it's unclear if the Angels will want to roll him out there when they have nothing to play for.
