Dylan Hernandez: Shohei Ohtani has more help this season with the Angels and a renewed outlookShohei Ohtani could be right. Mike Trout might have already reclaimed his long-standing place in baseball’s hierarchy.
Brandon Marsh - Raps three hits, steals baseMarsh went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-1 victory versus Cleveland.
ImpactMarsh collected half of the Angels' six hits in the contest, and he knocked in the team's second run with a single in the third inning. This was his fourth multi-hit game of the season and first with at least three base knocks. Marsh also stole a base for the second straight game and is already halfway to the six thefts he recorded over 70 contests in his rookie 2021 campaign.

Austin Hedges - Swats solo shotHedges went 2-for-3 with a solo home run Thursday in a loss to the Angels.
ImpactCleveland managed only four hits in the contest, with Hedges notching half of them. He also produced the team's only run with a solo homer off Reid Detmers in the fifth inning. Hedges has struggled with a .163/.234/.302 slash line this season, though two of his seven hits have left the yard.

Cal Quantrill - Tosses quality start in lossQuantrill (1-1) suffered the loss against the Angels on Thursday, completing six innings and allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out four.
ImpactQuantrill struggled with his control and induced only three swinging strikes in the contest, but he may have met a better fate if not for a pair of third-inning errors -- one of which was his own -- that led to three runs. The right-handed hurler nonetheless registered his second straight quality start and lowered his season ERA to 3.27, though that has come with an unimpressive 10:10 K:BB. His next start is tentatively slated to come at home against San Diego on Wednesday.

Raisel Iglesias - Picks up fifth saveIglesias earned the save against the Guardians on Thursday, pitching a scoreless inning during which he allowed one hit and struck out one batter.
ImpactIglesias allowed a Jose Ramirez single to start the ninth inning but proceeded to strike out Owen Miller before inducing a double play to close out the contest. The closer needed just 12 total pitches to wrap up his fifth save of the campaign. Iglesias has allowed just one earned run and has yet to issue a walk across 8.2 frames this season.

Reid Detmers - Notches first winDetmers (1-1) allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out four batters to earn the win against Cleveland on Thursday.
ImpactThe left-hander kept the Guardians off the scoreboard for four innings before Austin Hedges slugged a solo home run off him with two outs in the fifth. Detmers bounced back to retire the next batter and line himself up for the victory. The 22-year-old allowed five runs over 3.1 innings against Texas in his his second start of the campaign but has since yielded just three runs over 10 frames. His strikeout numbers haven't yet exploded the way they did in the minors -- Detmers has a modest 16 punchouts across 17.1 innings this season -- but he appears to be settling into the final slot in the Angels' rotation. His next start is likely to come in Boston next week.
