DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers have to figure out a way to beat left-handed starters.Former Tiger Jefry Marte had three RBI and Tyler Skaggs shut down the Detroit offense in the Los Angeles Angels 5-0 victory on Sunday.After scoring 35 runs in the four games before this series, the Tigers were limited to six runs in the three-game weekend set against the Angels. It is the ninth time this season the Tigers have been shut out.The Tigers also fell to 19-20 against lefty starters.Give Skaggs some credit, he did a good job, but weve struggled against left-handed starters this year for some reason, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. In May, I would have called it an anomaly, but it is almost September. I really cant explain why this continues to happen.The victory gave the Angels back-to-back road series wins for the first time this season.Marte hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning off Anibal Sanchez (7-13) for the first runs of the game. It was Martes 10th home run of the season and first since Aug. 17.I was looking for a good pitch and try to drive the run in and was looking for a fastball, Marte said. I try to do my best every game but when you play against a team that you were (with) before, thats something exciting.Marte played in 33 games with the Tigers last season and was traded to the Angels in January.The Angels added three more runs in the sixth, on sacrifice flies by Andrelton Simmons and Marte, plus an RBI double by Nick Buss.Skaggs (2-3), pitching for the first time at Comerica Park, allowed just two hits while striking out six in six innings.Thats a tough lineup any day of the week and he did a better job as the game went on of controlling counts and got some big outs, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. He made some pitches when he had to.Sanchez gave up five runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings.He wasnt as sharp as hes been in the last few outings, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said.The only Tiger with a hit off Skaggs was Miguel Cabrera, who had a single in the first and a double in the fourth.Their kid pitched well and they flat-out beat us, said Victor Martinez, who was 0-for-4. Thats the bottom line. We didnt do anything at all to score runs.POST-EJECTION AFTERMATH:Martinez declined to discuss his third-inning ejection in Saturdays game. Catcher James McCann, who was not ejected but did not agree with a called third strike in the second inning, said, At the end of the day, we have to find a way to take it out of the umpires hand. Unfortunately last night, I dont know that we were able to do that.HOMER HAPPY:Marte became the fourth Angels rookie in the last six seasons with 10 or more home runs, joining C.J. Cron, Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: Although 3B Yunel Escobar (concussion) is ready to start baseball activities Monday, Scioscia wont commit to him playing next weekend against Seattle. If he feels good to play before then, well get him in before then, but weve got to wait and see when he can get back to baseball activities and how he works out on the field the next day, Scioscia said.Tigers: RHP Mike Pelfrey (low back strain) will make his first rehabilitation start Monday with Triple-A Toledo. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said he would throw 40-45 pitches. Jordan Zimmermann (neck) will make his second rehabilitation start Wednesday and is set to throw about 60 pitches.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Matt Shoemaker will be making his first career appearance against the Cincinnati Reds. In eight career interleague games, seven of which were starts, Shoemaker is 3-3 with a 3.02 ERA.Tigers: LHP Matt Boyd will be making his third career start against the Chicago White Sox. In his last eight starts, Boyd is 5-0 with a 2.38 ERA. Womens Steelers Jerseys .

Even the worst team has certain plays and tendencies in which the players are productive.Today, weve gone through Football Outsiders extensive stat databases to point out one specific strength of each defense in 2015. (We examined each teams offense on Monday.) Some of these splits are significant for illuminating the strengths and weaknesses of each teams personnel. Other splits tend to oscillate wildly from year to year, and a great performance in 2015 may not indicate that a team will be equally strong in the same ways in 2016. Either way, the numbers provide an interesting window into what each teams defense did right last season.Football Outsiders advanced metrics are explained here. The most important is DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average), which measures success on each play compared to the league average adjusted for situation and opponent. Because it is measured on a per-play basis, it can easily be separated to measure specific splits; youll see a lot of those ratings below.Charting stats such as frequency of blitzes, pass pressure and play-action come from research by ESPN Stats & Information. Other charting mettrics, including cornerback coverage stats and broken tackles, come from Sports Information Solutions.dddddddddddd Youll be able to find many more of these stats in our book Football Outsiders Almanac 2016, which will be released online on Aug. 1.AFC East | AFC North | AFC South | AFC West NFC East | NFC North | NFC South | NFC WestAFC EASTBuffalo BillsAlthough the Bills defense struggled overall (24th in DVOA), they improved to sixth in the league in the fourth quarter or overtime. This wasnt just a case of opponents running out the clock in wins: The Bills had a better-than-average defense in the fourth quarter whether they were winning or losing the game.Miami DolphinsYou may remember from Mondays article on under-the-radar offensive strengths that Miamis offense was much better on second down than on first or third. Oddly, this also was true for the Miami defense, which ranked seventh in DVOA on second down, including fifth against the run. Thats much better than the Dolphins overall ranking of 25th in defensive DVOA and 20th in DVOA against the run.New England Patriots Wholesale NFL Hoodies Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Black Jerseys NFL Jerseys From China Cheap NFL T-shirts Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Discount NFL Jerseys ' ' '
