No-Hitter? Not Quite

Published: June 30, 2008
LOS ANGELES - LOS ANGELES - Although the Dodgers didn't get a hit, it was no no-hitter.
They even won what was one of the weirdest games in recent years, with an unearned run all they needed to beat the Angels 1-0.
Jered Weaver, lifted for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning, came away with only a loss to show for his six hitless innings on Saturday night. Jose Arredondo, who retired six consecutive batters over the next two innings, won't go into the record book for a combined no-hitter, either.
Since the Angels were the visitors and the Dodgers didn't have to bat in the ninth, it wasn't officially a no-hitter.
The Angels got five hits, but the Dodgers' Chad Billingsley and two relievers held them scoreless.
Dodgers manager Joe Torre said, "That's about as bizarre as you can get."
The Angels' Torii Hunter shook his head and said he hadn't seen anything like it, "Not ever, not even in Little League. We had a no-hitter and we lost."
