The Angels didn’t deserve the shutout. They didn’t deserve the win. This was Albert Pujols’ night, and no one wearing red that wasn’t him was allowed to walk away feeling good about the evening.
Tyler Skaggs continued to be excellent for the second consecutive start. That is 12.1 IP over the week with only 1 run allowed. He also took a crucial walk in his first plate appearance that allowed Dustin Garneau to move into scoring position so that Tommy La Stella could drive him in. If you’re Tyler Skaggs, you have every right to be proud of yourself.
