Texas (88-69), which had its six-game winning streak snapped, lead the AL West by 2 1/2 games over Houston and three over Seattle.
The Mariners’ 6-2 win over the Astros on Tuesday night reduced the magic number over both teams to three.Josh H. Smith, who was Seager’s defensive replacement, hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning.
Drury had three hits, including a home run, and Detmers threw seven solid innings for only his second win since the All-Star break. "He was able to use all four of his pitches and really solid for him to build off of going into this winter and spring training," Angels manager Phil Nevin said. "Wins have been pretty elusive for him this year I know., but good finish for him."
Logan O’Hoppe extended the lead to 4-1 when he led off the fourth with a double, advanced to third on Jo Adell’s single and came home on Escobar’s ground out.
