Years ago, when Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax where at the top of the Dodgers’ pitching rotation, Drysdale missed a game to attend to some personal business. Koufax pitched a no-hitter that day.
When told about the achievement, Drysdale had one question: “Did he win?”
The Dodgers were three outs away from a combined no-hitter Monday, then had to hang on for a 3-1 win over the Colorado Rockies.
It was the second time in three days the Dodgers took a no-hitter into the ninth. They lost the other one.
Tyler Glasnow was brilliant over seven no-hitter innings, striking out 11.
