Posting his first major league shutout, Andy Hassler yielded only four hits and pitched the Angels to a 2-0 victory over the Tigers. A single by Ellie Rodriguez and triple by Denny Doyle in the fifth inning decided Hassler's duel with Lerrin LaGrow. The Angels added an insurance run in the eighth on a pass to Rodriguez, safe bunt by Doyle and single by Bruce Bochte. [The Sporting News]
