Angel in the Outfield: Tyler Skagg and the Angel's Divine No Hitter

With Skaggs’s name and No. 45 on all of their jerseys Friday night, the Angels played practically perfect baseball during their first home game since their 27-year-old teammate’s death.

What all made this night divine:

  • Angels collectively pitched the 11thno-hitter in franchise history
  • Day before Tyler Skaggs would’ve been 28 years old
  • His mom, Carli, threw out a perfect strike as the honorary first pitch
  • they scored seven runs in the first inning and finished with 13 runs and 13 hits — and Skaggs’s birthday is 7-13 — July 13th.
  • The last combined no-hitter in California was thrown in Oakland on July 13, 1991 — the exact day Skaggs, a California native, was born.
  • Mike Trout hit a HR in the first inning and pointed to Skaggs family in the crowd during his slow trot
