ANAHEIM, Calif.

After 20 years and 1,609 consecutive home games, the Los Angeles Angels finally lost another game to rain.

Heavy downpours turned Angel Stadium’s outfield into virtual marshlands Sunday night, forcing the postponement of their game against the Boston Red Sox. Los Angeles will host its first doubleheader since 2003 on Monday.

The Big A’s grounds crew and drainage system couldn’t protect the grass from the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolores, which fell steadily all eveningandcauseda21/2- hour delay before the postponement. Using brooms and rakes, the crew vainly attempted to push water around the outfield before the Angels finally called their first home rainout since June 16, 1995.

“Unfortunately, I guess you never really know how your drainage system works until you get enough water,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said after the first home rainout of his 16-year tenure in Anaheim. “There’s so much standing water in that outfield that just has nowhere to go. It’s going to be like that all night, probably be like that (Monday) morning. … The field was unplayable, with no way to remedy that.”

The Angels were rained out at home for just the 16th time in their 55-year franchise history. They hadn’t even had a rain delay in a stretch of 359 regular-season home games since April 24, 2011.

According to David Ortiz, the Red Sox are the reason for this unusually rainy season.

“We bring bad weather everywhere,” Big Papi said. “Everywhere we go, it rains. That’s us. It’s not California. It’s us. Seriously, wherever we go, we bring rain. Every series we go to, there’s some rain going on, so I’m not surprised about this.”

The rainout was the first in Anaheim since the California Angels and Chicago White Sox were washed out two decades ago. The Angels have lost just 11 games to rain since the club moved from Dodger Stadium to Orange County in 1966, including a preseason game in 1967.

Friday night

Mike Trout returned from his second straight All-Star MVP performance with a walkoff home run with two outs in the ninth Friday night, lifting the Angels to a 1-0 victory over the Red Sox after they were no-hit through six innings by Wade Miley.

Trout, who led off Tuesday’s All-Star Game with a home run against major league ERA leader Zack Greinke, drove an 0-1 pitch from Red Sox closer Koji Uehara (2-4) way over the fence in left-center for his American League-leading 27th homer.

The win went to Joe Smith (2-1), who pitched a perfect ninth.

Miley retired his first 16 batters before walking Chris Iannetta with one out in the sixth. Kole Calhoun broke up the no-hit bit in the seventh with a leadoff double over the head of center fielder Mookie Betts.

Saturday night

Garrett Richards pitched a two-hitter for his second career shutout, Calhoun hit two homers and the Angels beat the Red Sox, 3-0 Saturday night for their 13th victory in 16 games.

Richards (10-6) allowed just three baserunners and retired Boston’s final 15 hitters in order.
