Fletcher brothers get first MLB face-off in Angels-Diamondbacks

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- David and Dominic Fletcher got to play against each other for the first time in a major league game. Fittingly, it came at a stadium where they had watched plenty of games while growing up.

Unfortunately, the Fletcher brothers' biggest fan was not in attendance Friday night when David's Los Angeles Angels hosted Dominic's Arizona Diamondbacks at Angel Stadium.

Their father, Tim, died suddenly earlier this month. He was 60.

"This would have been one of his proudest moments," Dominic Fletcher said. "Every night he turned on the TV and had both of our games going on simultaneously.
