Game of the Day | Angels lose hitless wonder

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo combined to hold the Los Angeles Dodgers without a hit Saturday night — and it still wasn't good enough for the Los Angeles Angels.

The Dodgers became the fifth team in modern major-eague history to win a game in which they didn't get a hit, defeating the Angels 1-0. Weaver's error on a slow roller allowed the Dodgers to score an unearned run in the fifth.

With the Angels trailing in the interleague game at Dodger Stadium, Weaver was pulled for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning after throwing 97 pitches. Arredondo pitched the next two innings.

Because the Dodgers didn't have to bat in the ninth, the game doesn't qualify as a no-hitter. It was only the fifth such game since 1900, and first since Boston's Matt Young held Cleveland hitless in 1992, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

The Dodgers' Chad Billingsley (7-7) scattered three hits over seven innings, then Jonathan Broxton and Takashi Saito shut out the Angels for the next two innings.

Weaver (7-8) was victimized by his fielding error with one out in the fifth inning that allowed Matt Kemp to reach first before eventually scoring.

Baseball's other no-hit losers were Andy Hawkins of the Yankees in 1990, Steve Barber and Stu Miller of Baltimore in 1967, and Ken Johnson of Houston in 1964.
