Mike Trout, Tommy La Stella Honor Tyler Skaggs at MLB All-Star Game

Mike Trout and Tommy La Stella will both wear No. 45 at the MLB All-Star Game in Cleveland on Tuesday in honor of their fallen teammate, Tyler Skaggs.

Skaggs died on July 1 at the age of 27. He pitched seven MLB seasons, joining the Angels in 2014. Skaggs posted a 4.41 career ERA , winning 28 games and throwing 520 2/3 innings.

Tuesday won't mark the Angels' first tribute to Skaggs. Pitcher Andrew Heaney threw a slow curveball to begin his start on Saturday, paying tribute to Skaggs' signature pitch.

Trout will don Skaggs' No.
