Three games into the season, Ron Washington has already taken some steps to steady his team. First the Angels had a team meeting after a pair of lopsided losses. Then in the next game, Washington went out to the mound at a key moment — not to change pitchers but to help a reliever calm down during a jam.

“Everything that Wash has done so far, I love it,” outfielder Taylor Ward said after the meeting that followed a 13-4 defeat Saturday. “It might just be what we need.” Team meetings are more effective when your next starting pitcher performs well, and Reid Detmers did just that Sunday, allowing a run and two hits in five innings. He talked a bit about the tone of the meeting.Juan Soto has go-ahead hit in 9th and Yankees beat Astros 4-3 for opening 4-game sweep“It was nothing crazy,” Detmers said. “It’s not like a getting-your--chewed team meeting. It was, just calm down, play like we know how to play, let’s go out there and have fun.
It was time for a mound visit, one Washington made himself instead of leaving it to his pitching coach.
