Angels Throw Combined No-Hitter on Same Night Team Honors Tyler Skaggs

This script was meant for hollywood, not a baseball game in July. Yet, with the dog days upon us, the Los Angeles Angels have provided us the moment of the MLB season in the midst of a roller-coaster of emotions.

MLB teams and clubhouses are often tightly-knit, as they should be. While mourning the death of one of their brothers in Tyler Skaggs, the Angels provided an incredibly memorable outing, no-hitting the Seattle Mariners through nine innings.

In a comfortable 13-0 win, Taylor Cole and Felix Peña combined for nine no-hit innings and eight strikeouts. Both wearing No. 45, the no-hitter was essentially an after-thought until the late innings when both the fans and players realized that, despite it all, they might do this damn thing.

On the same night Skaggs' mother threw out the first pitch and Mike Trout hit a home run 454 feet while wearing Skaggs' No. 45 on the only pitch he saw from Mike Leake, the Angels made more history.

The Angels will forever rally around the Skaggs family, and on Friday night they delivered an eternal remembrance for their fallen friend. RIP Tyler Skaggs. What a night in Anaheim.
