It was the lefty’s best start this season as a Bee as he looks to regain the composure and pitch control that allowed him to throw a no-hitter in 2022. Detmers worked around three hits against Sacramento, giving up a lone run and finishing with his season-high 11 punchouts. It was his third start with double-figure strikeouts, becoming the first Salt Lake pitcher since Jered Weaver in 2006 to accomplish the feat.

The Nokomis, Illinois native is 5-6 with a 6.37 ERA across 12 starts for Salt Lake this season. Detmers has 83 Ks against 22 walks, while opponents are hitting .276 against him.
Detmers was demoted to Salt Lake in early June after a rocky start to the season. The former Louisville Cardinal was 3-6 with a 6.14 ERA for the Los Angeles Angels.
