ANAHEIM, Calif. (Interstat) — The Detroit Tigers visit the Los Angeles Angels on Friday, July 17, with right-hander Troy Melton (5-1) set to start for Detroit at Angel Stadium.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. PT.

The Tigers (44-52) are looking to snap a three-game losing streak after being shut out 5-0 by the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. Melton has been a bright spot for Detroit, winning his last two decisions. He will face an Angels club that has lost six of its last seven games.

Los Angeles (38-59) is coming off a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. Right-hander José Soriano (1-9) will start for the Angels. Soriano has lost his last three outings, including a 4-2 defeat at Minnesota on July 12 in which he allowed three earned runs over five innings.

Players to watch:

Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal, who did not factor into the decision Sunday, has been one of the team’s most consistent performers. In his last five starts, Skubal has a 2.70 ERA with 40 strikeouts over 27.2 innings. He allowed two earned runs in five innings against the Phillies on July 12.

Angels right-hander José Soriano has struggled with command and run support this season. In his last five starts, he has a 5.00 ERA and has allowed 24 earned runs over 24 innings. He did not record a strikeout in his most recent outing against the Twins.

Series history:

The Angels took two of three from the Tigers in Detroit from May 26-28. Los Angeles won the most recent meeting 7-1 on May 28.

Betting line:

Detroit is a -1.5 favorite. The over/under is 8.5 runs.
