SPEED PITCHES: Under baseball’s new speed rules, where was the fastest game played Tuesday, when the Angels opened their season? In Anaheim: It took the Angels just 2 hours and 3 minutes to beat Milwaukee 3-1. . . . “I heard (plate umpire) Joe Brinkman say before the game, ‘Let’s go, let’s go, let’s play ball!’ Maybe he was trying to rush me in for the first pitch,” said Brewers leadoff batter Pat Listach. Baseball’s average game through Tuesday was 12 minutes shorter than last year.
