DETROIT -- Its always fun to beat your former team.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 victory gave the Angels back-to-back road series wins for the first time this season.I think its huge for us, Skaggs said. It shows that were a good ball club. We havent been playing that well, especially on our last road trip, so its nice to win two series.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.
