Injuries are just a natural part of Baseball life. The best you can be is prepared for when they happen. The Dodgers were unequipped to handle the heavy amount of injuries that befell them in 2011.

What made this game interesting was the Dodgers were no-hit through 9 innings by Montreal pitcher Mark Gardner, however the game was scoreless, thanks to the Dodger pitching staff only allowing two hits. Starter Orel Hershiser pitched 6 two hit innings, Kevin Gross followed and pitched 3 innings, and Jay Howell pitched the top of the tenth.

F/10 innings-Score from July 26, 1991 @ Dodger Stadium
Flash forward to last season on July 9, 2011 @ Dodger Stadium, as the Dodgers played the Padres. This was one of the strangest games I’ve ever seen. The Dodgers were no-hit until two outs in the bottom of the 9th, with the game scoreless, the Dodgers two worst hitters knocked in and scored the winning run, and the Dodgers rally to win in dramatic fashion.
