ARLINGTON, Texas _ The Texas Rangers-Los Angeles Angels series opener was canceled Monday after the death of Angels left-hander Tyler Skaggs.
Skaggs was found dead at his hotel room. He was scheduled to pitch Thursday in the finale of the four-game series. Monday's game will be made up as part of a doubleheader in August.
"The Texas Rangers organization wants to express its deepest sympathies to the family of Tyler Skaggs and to the entire Angels organization on this shocking loss," the Rangers said in a news release. "The thoughts and prayers of every member of the Texas Rangers and all of their fans are with the Angels organization at this difficult time."
