Jordan Zimmerman got his first win in 18 starts dating back to last season and the Detroit Tigers beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-2 in Major League Baseball action Monday.
Zimmerman (1-8) allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings to get his first victory since September 5, 2018 and avoid setting a team record for most consecutive starts without a win.
Miguel Cabrera homered and drove in three runs, and Jordy Mercer also connected to help the Tigers improve to 2-15 against the American League West this season. Both wins have come against the Angels.
The Tigers have placed catcher Bobby Wilson on waivers, according to manager Ron Gardenhire.
Wilson, who is batting .091 in 15 games this season and in an 0-for-16 slump over his past six games, will be assigned to Triple-A Toledo or become a free agent if he is not claimed by another team.
The move clears the way for catcher Jake Rogers, one of the top prospects in the Tigers' organization, to be called up from Toledo.
In other MLB action on Monday, the Toronto Blue Jays hammered Kansas City 7-3.
