- Updated: June 2, 2016

Angels fans were very nervous when the scoreboard was filled with zeros which included in the hit column as well. Fulmer carried a no-hitter for seven and two-thirds, his no-hit bid ended on a single by C.J. Cron. The Angels only other hit was a double by Gregorio Petit. The team struggled with runners in scoring position, going 0 for 3. Angels starter Matt Shoemaker (L,3-6), got pounded in this game, giving up ten hits and two of the three Tigers runs.
