Weaver's No-Hitter To Go Down as Loss?



Jered Weaver of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim is currently throwing a no-hitter over in Los Angeles. However, the Dodgers are winning Game Two of the Freeway Series, 1-0. It would be shocking if Weaver's spectacular no-hitter goes down as a loss in the record books.

In the bottom of the fifth-inning, Matt Kemp reached first-base on a fielding error. Then he broke for second-base and advanced to third-base on a throwing error. Blake DeWitt's sacrifice-flyball to right-field brought Kemp home to put the Dodgers ahead, 1-0.

Chad Billingsley has been pitching well in tonight's game. Thus far, he has struck out seven batters in 6.2 innings on the mound. But since he has already thrown 109 pitches in tonight's game thus far, it looks as if Joe Torre will throw in a relief pitcher to start the eighth-inning.

On a personal note, I picked up a copy of the 2008 Dodgers Yearbook earlier today. It highlights 50 Years of Dodgers History and includes the usual colorful player pages. I'll be sure to share any interesting facts that I find out while reading about the Los Angeles Dodgers.
