After Stripling's gem, Dodgers lose walk-off
Ross Stripling strikes out Trevor Brown swinging during his debut against the GiantsThe only player in MLB history to throw a no-hitter in his debut is Bumpus Jones, who did it for Cincinnati on Oct. 15, 1892.
On a rainy and cool night, Stripling validated the club's decision to make him the fifth starter after injuries sidelined Hyun-Jin Ryu, Brandon Beachy and Mike Bolsinger. Stripling won the job in late spring competition with Zach Lee and Carlos Frias.
The 26-year-old Stripling, two years removed from Tommy John elbow reconstruction, was backed by four hit-robbing defensive plays.
