The rally erased a 6-4 Detroit lead, and the Angels’ offense produced multiple extra-base hits, extending Los Angeles’ winning streak to four games. DETROIT — The following night Detroit responded, using strong pitching to shut out the Angels 4-0 on Wednesday; Spencer Torkelson homered and doubled twice while five Tigers pitchers combined on a two-hitter.
