Default .This is a unique team, different to the rest
LOS ANGELES -- Garrett Richards claims he gave little thought to his first career shutout until the final out settled into Albert Pujols glove at first base. He figures he will have the whole rest of his life to savour his milestone accomplishment at Dodger Stadium. Richards pitched a five-hitter, Mike Trout and Pujols had RBI doubles in a four-run first inning, and the Los Angeles Angels opened the Freeway Series with a 5-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. Richards (12-4) was dominant in his first nine-inning complete game, striking out nine and retiring 15 of 16 in the middle innings with a fastball regularly hitting 98 mph. He finished his first victory in four starts by getting pinch-hitter Andre Ethier on a groundout with his 122nd pitch. "Thats faith in me, and thats important to me," Richards said. "Going back out (for the ninth), I was just worried about winning the ballgame." Richards even outpitched Zack Greinke (12-7), who yielded six hits and three earned runs in seven innings despite giving up just two hits after that messy first inning. A day after scoring five runs in the first inning at Tampa Bay, the Angels had another quick start on the road. They led 4-0 after four hits, two unearned runs, two wild pitches by Greinke and two horrible fielding misplays from Carl Crawford and Hanley Ramirez. "(Greinke) just made two mistakes to two really amazing hitters, and they made him pay for those mistakes," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said. "After that, he was lights out." Richards took control from there, allowing just one runner to reach third base. "He is driven," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Garrett wants to be good. He has a lot of confidence in what he can do." Josh Hamilton homered in the sixth for the Angels, who improved the majors second-best record to 67-44 with their seventh win in 10 games. Los Angeles two teams both appear headed for the playoffs in the same season for the first time since 2009, with the Dodgers sitting atop the NL standings and the Angels chasing down the Oakland Athletics. TAGGING UP: Pujols had a little fun with Yasiel Puig, tagging up from first base when the Dodgers centre fielder was slow to return a long fly ball to the infield in the eighth inning. "Thats how you play the game," Pujols said. "He can have fun, too. Im having fun. He can do whatever he wants." Two innings earlier, Puig playfully wagged his finger from centre field when Erick Aybar thought about making the same tag-up move from first base. When he got lazy in the eighth, even the slow-footed Pujols could run on him. Between innings, Pujols appeared to mock Puig for his lackadaisical catch on the fly, but Pujols bristled when asked about it after the game. "He just got a lesson, and hopefully he learns it," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said of Puig. "Albert basically embarrassed him right there." HEARING BOOS: Trout was heartily booed when he stepped to the plate or appeared on the Dodgers video boards, an unusual sound for the popular All-Star outfielder. "Its how baseball should be," Trout said. "Its rivalries, crosstown. Its fun for me with the fans involved. It pumps me up when you hear them." TRAINERS ROOM: Angels: Reliever Mike Morin said he cut his foot while walking on a Florida beach with friends last weekend, sending him to the disabled list for two weeks. Dodgers: Reliever Chris Perez went on the disabled list with bone spurs in his right ankle. ON DECK: Angels: Hector Santiago (3-7, 3.76 ERA) looks to build on his summer surge after his 0-7 start. With Tyler Skaggs on the disabled list, the Angels are counting on him. Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw (13-2, 1.71) claimed the NLs previous two pitcher-of-the-month awards and hasnt lost since May 28, but the vaunted left-hander hasnt faced the Angels since 2011.

The reigning European champions already hold a 2-0 lead from the first leg and look destined to make the quarter-finals for the ninth straight year as they have not been beaten in 37 games in all competitions stretching back to October.This is a unique team, different to the rest and which does things that make it seem like there is nothing the opponent can do, said Enrique. It is a great pleasure to be in this position.Five-time World Player of the Year Lionel Messi produced another masterclass, despite missing a penalty for the third time this season, as he scored his 36th goal of the season and provided three assists.Juan Rodriguezs own goal opened the scoring before Barca missed from the spot for the ninth time in 20 penalties this season when Vicente Guaita parried Messis effort. Lionel Messi was on target, missed from the spot and set up three goals Messi quickly set about making amends as his teed up Munir El Haddadi and Neymar before smashing home a fourth before half-time.And Neymar and Arda Turan rounded off a 12th consecutive La Liga win after the break. Barcelona hit Getafe for six Barcelona warmed up for the visit of Arsenal with another awe-inspiring display The ideas and the tempo with which we started made it very difficult for Getafe because we were so precise and quick when we moved the ball, added Enrique.At half-time, the game was already sewn up and that isnt due to the fault of the opponents, but because at this part of the season we are in fantastic form and the whole team has a lot of confidence. Luis Suarez was left on the bench Enrique even had the luxury of leaving out top goalscorer Luis Suarez, Ivan Rakitic and Sergiio Busquets ahead of Arsenals visit on Wednesday.ddddddddddddhey are all incredible, he added. The forwards, the midfielders, the defenders, those that dont play or have fewer minutes.It is a perfect situation to know that whoever you pick will compete in their own way, with their own characteristics, but all of them wanting to take part and make the most of their minutes on the field.The only problem we have is that there arent enough minutes for everyone.If you enjoy playing football and it is clear that this team enjoys it, then it is easier to not get tired of playing football and that is one of the keys of this team. Barcelona moved 11 points clear at the top of La Liga with a 6-0 home win against Getafe Barca are on the brink of a sixth La Liga title in eight years as victory took them 11 points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid, albeit having played a game more.And defender Gerard Pique put their sustained success down to the stability in the squad over the past number of years.Many players have spent many years here together and we understand each other very well, said the Spanish international.We can play quickly and at times without even looking at one another.We can still improve and for the rest of the season we need to continue winning titles.Watch Barcelonas trip to Villarreal on Sunday, March 20 on Sky Sports 3 HD from 2.55pm Also See: Barcelona hit Getafe for six Barcas unbeaten run in numbers Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap Authentic Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Jerseys Wholesale ' ' '
