Technically, it wasn't a no-hitter. But that's only because the Los Angeles Dodgers did not get to bat in the bottom of the ninth. They had already made bigger problems for the Los Angeles Angels because they were winning, 1-0.
That's right. You're eyes aren't playing tricks on you. The Dodgers did not get a single hit off the Angels' Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo and still won the game. It's only the fifth time since 1990 that the team with no hits has ended up the winner.
The Dodgers pushed their lone run across on a sacrifice fly by Matt Kemp, who skied a pitch with two runners on from walks in the bottom of the fifth. When Dodger pitcher Takaishi Saito slung the final pitch past the Angels' Reggie Willits, Dodger fans let out a deafening-and relieved-cheer through Dodger Stadium.
