Dodgers Pitcher Tyler Anderson Tosses 8.1 No-Hit Innings Before Shohei Ohtani Triple
One night after Miles Mikolas lost a no-hitter with two outs in the 9th inning for the Cardinals, another 9th-inning blunder occurred in the battle for Los Angeles. The Dodgers rode the arm of Tyler Anderson through 25 outs (8.1 innings) before Shohei Ohtani smacked a triple to the right-field wall. That’s back-to-back nights on no-hitter watch before a heartbreaking finish. The Dodgers went on to beat the Angels (4-1). Anderson still remains unbeaten in eight starts this season (8-0), but the next no-no of 2022 will have to wait for another day.
