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.

Mike Nugent Jersey .com) - The Utah Jazz look to put an end to their five-game losing streak when the Denver Nuggets visit Salt Lake City Monday night.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Toronto Raptors have won three straight and will look for more Wednesday night when they host the Sacramento Kings at Air Canada Centre. The Raptors have won four of the last five, but are only 1-2 in their last three at home. They hit the road for two straight following Wednesdays contest. On Tuesday, Toronto had a relatively easy time with the Indiana Pacers, winning, 104-91, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points and Kyle Lowry had a solid performance in the Raptors victory. Lowry, a starting guard for the Eastern Conference All-Star team, finished with 19 points, eight assists and seven rebounds for Toronto. It takes all eyes off of me, Lowry said of what DeRozan brings to the team. It puts eyes on him too and gives me the opportunity to get some open shots. The Raptors bench was sensational and it had to be. Torontos other starters beside DeRozan and Lowry combined for 19 points. The Raptors second unit tallied 42 points. Lou Williams (14), Patrick Patterson (13) and Terrence Ross (11) led the way for the Raptors reserves. The Kings should be on game three of a five-game road trip, but Mother Nature reared her ugly head. After losing to the Golden State Warriors on Friday to begin this trek, the Kings were scheduled to visit Madison Square Garden on Monday to take on the New York Knicks. With the impending blizzard forecast, the league canceledd the game and the two teams will make it up March 3.dddddddddddd The Kings were on the wrong side of history in their loss to the Warriors. Klay Thompson turned a Kings third-quarter lead into a Golden State Warriors rout all by himself. The sharp-shooting guard set an NBA record for points in a quarter on Friday night, netting 37 of Golden States 41 in the third en route to a 126-101 Warriors blowout win over the Kings. They just kept wanting to see the show. Thats what they kept telling me, Thompson said of his teammates. Thompson, who finished with 52 points after departing at the 9:28 mark of the fourth, made all 13 of his shots in the third, with nine of them coming from beyond the arc. I was taking a lot of bad shots out there, but I was taking them until I missed, Thompson said. He broke George Gervin and Carmelo Anthonys previous mark of 33 points for a quarter. It was crazy. I dont even know what happened, Thompson said. DeMarcus Cousins tallied 28 points and 11 boards to lead the Kings, who have dropped six straight games and three in a row as the visitor. He was getting it off so quick we couldnt get any help to him, Sacramento coach Tyrone Corbin said of Thompson. The Raptors defeated the Kings by eight in Sacramento on Dec. 2 and have won two straight in this series. The Kings had won the previous four, but are just 2-8 in their previous 10 north of the border.
