LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers became the fifth team in modern major-league history to win a game in which they didn’t get a hit, defeating the Angels 1-0 on Saturday night.
The Angels’ Jered Weaver pitched six hitless innings before he was lifted for a pinch hitter, then Jose Arredondo pitched the next two innings.
Since the Dodgers didn’t have to bat in the ninth, the game doesn’t qualify as a no-hitter.
Weaver was victimized by his own fielding error with one out in the fifth inning, allowing Matt Kemp to reach first.
Kemp stole second and continued to third on catcher Jeff Mathis’ throwing error, then scored on Blake DeWitt’s sacrifice fly. The run was unearned.
Weaver struck out six and walked three in six innings. Loser Chad Billingsley scattered three hits over seven innings, then Jonathan Broxton and Takashi Saito shut out the Angels for the next two innings.
