Box Score of the Week

Baltimore Orioles at Oakland A's - July 13, 1991.

----------------------------------------

Last Friday evening, two Los Angeles Angels pitchers combined to no-hit the Seattle Mariners in the Angels' first home game since the sudden death of teammate Tyler Skaggs eleven days earlier. In that game, the Angels players all donned Skaggs name and jersey number. Afterwards they all laid their game-worn jerseys on the pitcher's mound as a tribute to their fallen teammate.

That means last Friday's game was the first combined no-hitter in the state of California since that Orioles-A's matchup on July 13, 1991 ----  the very day Skaggs was born.
