The Dodgers beat the Angels last night despite getting zero hits. By now, many of us know the list below pretty, well, but here are the previous 4 times since 1956 that a team won while getting no-hit:

That 1967 game between the Tigers and the Orioles is absolutely bizarre. Click on the date for the box score. The Orioles got a hit in the 3rd and a hit in the 7th. These were the only hits in the game for either team, and they did not figure in the run scoring. The Orioles squeaked in a run in the 8th with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly. Then the Tigers put together a bizarre two-run rally in the 9th helped along mainly by walks and a wild pitch.

Ken Johnson’s game in 1964 does count as a no-hitter officially, even though he lost. He pitched a 9-inning CG since the Reds were on the road at Houston. The rest of the games on this list (including the LAA-LAD game not yet shown) do not count as official no-hitters.
