The Dodgers struggled to mount any offense throughout the game before loading the bases with two outs in the 9th, they failed to score however, and were unable to complete the sweep against the Angels.
John Lackey got the win, he's 6-1. Derek Lowe took the loss, he's 5-8. Francisco Rodríguez picked up his 32nd save.
Derek Lowe pitched a good game, going seven innings, striking out seven, giving up a run on five hits and two walks. Brian Falkenborg pitched in his third game of the year, and pitched his third scoreless inning of the year. Cory Wade added a scoreless 9th to keep the Angels to just one run through the game.
The Dodgers, meanwhile, were shut down by the Angels pitchers. John Lackey held them to just two hits and a walk through the first eight innings. He came out in the ninth, and gave up a hit and a walk before being pulled for Francisco Rodríguez. Rodríguez walked Jeff Kent to load the bases with two outs in the 9th inning before getting James Loney to groundout to end the game.
A very interesting, low scoring series. The Dodgers outscored the Angels 7-1 in the three games but were only able to take two of three. And interestingly enough, the rotating door of Dodger injuries seems to still be in effect. As several Dodgers on the DL appear to be on their way back, Juan Pierre left the game in the 6th inning after stealing a base and having Erick Aybar land awkwardly on his left leg. He'll have an MRI tomorrow, but he looked pretty bad coming out of the game, limping heavily on the left leg. The Dodgers will travel to Houston to take on the Astros starting tomorrow at 5:05 L.A. time.
Did that really just happen? The Dodgers get 1-0 win while being no-hit by the Angels.
Chad Billingsley got the win, he's 7-7. Jered Weaver took the loss, he's 7-8. Takashi Saito picked up his 12th save.
Lost in the historic night was the Dodgers got a well pitched game by Billingsley as the Dodgers shut down the Angels for the second night in a row. Billingsley pitched seven strong innings, striking out seven, giving up just three hits and three walks. Jonathan Broxton and Takashi Saito also pitched a scoreless inning each to shut down the Angels.
Meanwhile, the Dodgers offense was completely shut down. They managed just three walks and a hit-by-pitch between the combination of Angels pitchers Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo. And yet, they won. 
In the 5th inning, Matt Kemp reached first on a Weaver error, he then stole second and advanced to third on an error by Angels catcher Jeff Mathis. Blake DeWitt then hit a sac-fly to right field to cash in Kemp. And that was it. One run on no hits for the Dodgers but it would stand throughout the game.
This was just the 5th time since 1900 that a team was no-hit and went on to win the game, and the first time since 1992. Also, lost in this win will be the fact that Andre Ethier turned in two excellent plays in the outfield to help keep the Angels scoreless and Luis Maza made a great diving stop in the 9th to take away a hit...
But who cares, the Dodgers make history tonight. It was an exciting game to watch, I hope you got to catch a piece of it. The Dodgers will go for the sweep tomorrow against the Angels at 1:10 L.A. time.
Chan Ho Park made an excellent start for the Dodgers and the offense had some good hitting to get the win, tying the season series with the Angels at 2-2.
Chan Ho Park got the win, he's 3-2. Joe Saunders took the loss, he's 11-4.
Park went six strong innings, giving up just four hits while striking out seven. He also did not walk anyone. In fact, the Dodgers had good command throughout the game: they issued no walks over the whole nine innings. The bullpen shut down the Angels the rest of the way. Brian Falkenborg pitched a perfect 7th, Jonathan Broxton struck out all three batters he faced in the 8th, and Takashi Saito did the same in the 9th.
The Dodgers were able to score in more than one way in the game. Russell Martin destroyed a Joe Saunders pitch in the first inning to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. The Dodgers strung together a few hits to add two more runs in the 5th inning to make the lead 
3-0. Then, Andre Ethier hit a big three-run homerun halfway up the right field bleachers in the 7th to give the Dodgers their 6-0 lead.
With the win yesterday against lefty Joe Saunders, the Dodgers get their first win in a game started by a left handed pitcher since May 14th when the Dodgers won 6-4 over the Brewers in a game started by Manny Parra, although the win came against the Brewer bullpen in the 9th. The last time the Dodgers actually gave the left handed starter the loss was May 3rd when beat Jorge De La Rosa and the Colorado Rockies 12-7.
Overall, this was a good win for the Dodgers. They'll try to keep some momentum as they take on Jered Weaver in game two of the series at 7:10 L.A. time. Weaver, in three career starts against us is 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA.
John Lackey got the win, he's 6-1. Derek Lowe took the loss, he's 5-8. Francisco Rodríguez picked up his 32nd save.
