At the first home game for the Los Angeles Angels since the tragic death of pitcher Tyler Skaggs, the team defeated the Seattle Mariners 13–0 after pitchers Taylor Cole and Félix Peña combined for a no-hitter.

To honor their fallen teammate, the entire Angels team wore his number, 45, on their jerseys Friday night. And Skaggs’ mother, Debbie, threw out the first pitch before the game.

After wining the incredibly emotional game, the Angels all returned to the pitcher’s mound, upon which they laid all their #45 jersey in honor of Skaggs.

Gone but never forgotten
