Mo' Dat, Please: Angels 3, Rangers 2

Random bullet points from Saturday's game: I can take a taut game as long as neither side (preferably the Angels' opponents) turns it into a blowout. This was a great game from that perspective — I sincerely would have enjoyed this even if the Angels had lost, just because the pitching was so good.
