Heartwarming stories don’t usually do much for me. But I find it easy to be moved by the way the Angels came back home after the All Star break and after the untimely death of Tyler Skaggs. Paying tribute to Skaggs by all wearing his name and numbers, the Angels proceeded to win a 13-0 combined no-hitter. A name of mourning and memory became a night of catharsis and history. For a little while, things were better.
