    Trout just got hit for the 11th time this season to bring in a run. Not sure if a HBP counts towards his cycle, but if so, he's only a triple away... and it's just the 2nd inning. 5RBI's so far.

    A HBP definitely doesn’t count for the cycle

    Lived here for over a year but finally went to my first Cape Cod Baseball League game today, which was a veterans/current serving member game for one of the towns... had fun, was a pure baseball experience. Closest team to me (Bourne Braves) had Tommy Lucroy on their team (current Angels All-Star) a couple years back which was cool. A lot of great current/former MLBers have played here... definitely want to hit up all the other stadiums/teams while I'm still here (especially since the games are free to attend)

    Keuchel has pitched at least 7 innings in his last three starts. Great to see his stamina is there.

    He’s looked good the past couple. Hope this continues.

    Also, hope the Braves go after Stroman and Giles.

    Recently moved and found this in some of my stuff. From the day after we won the World Series in 08. I think I’m gonna frame it.

    The correlation between Skaggs’ birthday and the game yesterday are wild.



    Even beyond the historic nature of the game, there were plenty of other fascinating facts and figures from the combined no-hitter. For one, the game finished just hours before what would have been Skaggs’ 28th birthday on July 13.

    Here’s a quick round-up of the most interesting insights.

    The most recent combined-no hitter in California

    Combined no-hitters are very rare. Of the 301 no-hitters in major league history, just 13 have involved multiple pitchers. After all, it’s hard enough for one pitcher to be untouchable, let alone two or three or six.

    Oddly enough, five of those 13 combined no-hitters have taken place in California, but the most recent one before Friday came on July 13, 1991. As Stats Inc. points out, that was the day Skaggs was born.

    More serendipity with Skaggs’ birthday

    Even before fans could think about a no-hitter, the Angels got off to a roaring start with seven runs in the first inning. According to FanGraphs, that pushed their win expectancy to 95.8 percent.

    With the team going on to score six more runs the rest of the way, that gave them a 13-0 win. And once again, 7/13 is Skaggs’ birthday.

    “You can’t make this stuff up,” Mike Trout said after the game.
