THE GAME: The Angels beat the Cincinnati Reds, 7-6, on a walk-off single by Ryan Aguilar on Friday at Tempe Diablo Stadium.

PITCHING REPORT: Left-hander Reid Detmers was officially named the No. 6 starter after he was charged with two runs in 3-2/3 innings. He allowed one run on a homer by Aramis Garcia. Detmers left in the fourth with one runner on base, and Garcia then hit a two-run homer against reliever Mike Mayers. Detmers gave up two earned runs in 8-2/3 innings this spring, including three scoreless innings in a “B” game. He had 16 strikeouts and no walks in the three games. “He was outstanding,” Manager Joe Maddon said. “He’s kind of like a throwback. He’s got a real curveball, a real slider, plenty of fastball and a developing changeup. I think he’s going to have himself a really good year.” … Right-hander Ryan Tepera gave up one run in an inning. … Right-hander Oliver Ortega pitched a perfect inning. He hasn’t allowed a run in five innings this spring. … Right-hander José Marte pitched a scoreless inning.

HITTING REPORT: Shohei Ohtani drove a ball off the fence in right-center field. Although he appeared to slow down and accept a double, the Reds were slow to get the ball in to the infield so he turned it into a triple. … Anthony Rendon doubled off the wall in right center and then stole third. … Jo Adell doubled off the fence in left field. Adell also singled. He’s 9 for 31 this spring. … Brandon Marsh hit an opposite-field homer. Both of his homers this spring have been hit to the opposite field. Marsh is 10 for 31 this spring, with 14 strikeouts and one walk. … Michael Stefanic had two hits, including a double off the left field fence. Stefanic is 8 for 19 with six walks this spring. … The Angels were 6 for 10 with runners in scoring position.

DEFENSE REPORT: First baseman Jared Walsh charged a slow chopper and bobbled the ball slightly, but he held it and got the out at first. … Third baseman Jose Rojas started a double play on a sharp grounder.
