ANAHEIM, Calif. — Davis Daniel pitched four-hit ball over eight innings and struck out eight in his first major league start, and the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Detroit Tigers 5-0 for their fourth consecutive victory. Luis Rengifo hit a two-run homer and moved atop the American League in batting average. Miguel Sanó and Willie Calhoun also went deep for the Angels, who matched their longest winning streak of the season. Daniel didn't walk a batter and retired 10 straight from the fourth inning through the seventh. He threw 98 pitches, 66 for strikes. The previous major leaguer to pitch at least eight shutout innings with eight strikeouts or more in his first career start was Jason Jennings for Colorado in August 2001 at the New York Mets.
