Sweet emotion
Besides the win, the highlight of Friday was intense RHP Kyle Farnsworth grabbing and hugging RHP Wade Davis for all to see during the Angel Stadium kiss-cam segment. "I was shocked by the attempt, even," LHP J.P. Howell said. "I can't believe those two even came together like that. And it was led by Farns, which made it even more interesting. He does have a heart."

Sweet reunion
Manager Joe Maddon enjoyed catching up with other members of the Angels' 2002 World Series championship team, meeting for drinks after Friday's game and then during Saturday's pregame ceremony. "It's so funny how you're just able to pick up the last conversation like it was yesterday," Maddon said. "It was a really tightly knit group. It was great to see them all."
