ANAHEIM —That’s why they call it a “suicide” squeeze.
Manager Ron Washington called for the risky play in the eighth inning with the Angels trying to complete what would have been an encouraging comeback, but it blew up in their faces, and the Angels lost, 7-6, to the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.
With the bases loaded and one out, Zach Neto took off from third as Luis Guillorme squared to bunt. The pitch was well outside and Guillorme couldn’t get the bat on it. Cardinals catcher Pedro Pagés simply tagged Neto. Guillorme then struck out to end the inning.
Washington became agitated as he answered questions about the suicide attempt after the game.
“Sinker ball left-hander,” Washington said. “I didn’t want (Guillorme) to hit into a double play. He can handle the bat. He didn’t do the job. It wasn’t anything I did wrong. He didn’t do the job.”
Washington was then asked if a squeeze is more difficult when a pitcher is not throwing strikes. Cardinals left-hander Jo Jo Romero had walked the previous two hitters, and the pitch that Guillorme tried to bunt was a slider that was well outside.
“Wild?” Washington said. “He was throwing the ball in the strike zone. Why are you making excuses? He was throwing the ball in the strike zone. He did not get the bunt down. Period.”
Guillorme said he’s been asked to bunt plenty of times in his career, and he did the best he could to get this one down.
“He made a good pitch,” Guillorme said. “What else can you say? He made a good pitch. I tried to get the bat on it. I didn’t reach it. It happens. I gotta try to get the bat on it, but he made a good pitch.”
The missed opportunity cost the Angels on a night when they showed some life by overcoming an early five-run deficit to tie the score in the fifth inning.
But left-hander Amir Garrett hung a 3-and-1 slider to left-handed hitter Alec Burleson, who crushed it for a tie-breaking two-run homer in the seventh inning to put the Cardinals back ahead, 7-5.
The Angels got back one of those runs on a Kevin Pillar RBI single in the seventh, but they couldn’t get any more.
The Angels (15-28) lost for the fifth time in their last six games and dropped to 5-16 at home.
This could have been one of their most encouraging victories. Down 5-0 in the third inning, they rallied to tie the score by the fifth.
Nolan Schanuel drove in the third with the first of his two hits. In the fourth, Willie Calhoun and Pillar had singles ahead of a Logan O’Hoppe three-run homer. It was O’Hoppe’s third homer of the season.
The Angels completed the comeback with a run on a Taylor Ward sacrifice fly in the fifth.
“We tried to do something to get back in the game,” Washington said. “It didn’t work in our favor. But other than that, I thought we did a good job of battling and staying in the game, not giving in. We got beat.”
Although they couldn’t rally for the victory, they at least took Reid Detmers off the hook for a loss.
Detmers allowed five runs – four earned – in five innings.
Over his last four starts he has a 10.61 ERA, which has raised his ERA for the season to 5.19. He began the season with a 2.12 ERA in his first five starts.
There were some positives from this one for Detmers.
He threw 69 of his 95 pitches for strikes, which is a very good ratio. He also had slightly more velocity on his fastball than usual.
In the second inning, he gave up two runs, one on a wild pitch and a second when third baseman Cole Tucker made a bad throw on what should have been an out at the plate.
In the third, Detmers loaded the bases with one out – including an infield hit and a walk. He struck out Nolan Gorman for the second out, but then he hung a 3-and-2 curve to Pagés, who yanked a ground ball just inside third base for a three-run double.
At that point the Angels were down 5-0, but the hitters soon came to life and Detmers tacked on two scoreless innings.
“I felt good,” Detmers said. “Obviously the results weren’t what I wanted. But I felt like I pitched a good game, just made really one mistake. I didn’t think it was a bad pitch selection, just bad location the curveball. Other than that, stuff was good. Got ground balls and did pretty much what I wanted to do. Obviously there was some hits here and there, but at the end of the day, I felt pretty good.”
