The Angels started off the scoring when Yunel Escobar led off the 1st with a triple and later scored on a Mike Trout groundout RBI. Unfortunately, Kole Calhoun strayed too far off second base, and the inning ended with Dioner Navarro threw him out.
Both Matt Shoemaker and James Shields were dealing from the start and allowed only 1 hit each through the first 3 innings. Shoemaker had already notched 5Ks through the third and would end up going the distance on 115 pitched with an amazing 95 game score, a complete game shutout, and his best game of the season.
