Kole Calhoun Homers Twice, Garrett Richards Pitches Shutout, as Angels Blank Red Sox 3-0 at Angel Stadium

So I go down to get another beer in the third inning and Kole Calhoun blasts a home run as soon as I get in line. I'm like, "What the heck, heh?" But it was all cool because as soon as he gets up again he hit another blast to the right field seats in the fifth.

See Mike DiGiovanna, at the Los Angeles Times, "Garrett Richards goes the distance in Angels' 3-0 win over Red Sox." And also Jeff Fletcher, at the O.C. Register, "Angels' Garrett Richards throws 2-hit shutout; Kole Calhoun hits 2 homers."

Garrett Richards was spectacular. Before I knew it it was two outs and the bottom of the ninth and everybody starts standing at two strikes. I'm all, this is sweet!

We left home a little before 5:00pm, and it was starting to clear up. It rained pretty good for most of the early afternoon. You can see the tropical clouds over the Santa Ana mountains at the photo. We had some drizzle during the game, but nothing bothersome at all. Kinda fun, actually.
