Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw took a no-hitter into the 8th inning in the team's 9-1 victory against the Angels.
Last month, left-hander Tyler Anderson took a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Angels, but allowed a one-out triple to Shohei Ohtani that broke up the no-no.
There has only been one perfect game in Dodgers franchise history. That occurred on September 9, 1965 and was thrown by Sandy Koufax, who now has a statue outside Dodger Stadium.Before he flirted with perfection, the 34-year-old was expected to make his last start before the All-Star break. Kershaw was named to his ninth All-Star team earlier in the week, and is expected to be named the starter for the game, which will take place at Dodger Stadium for the first time in 42 years.
Los Angeles broke the game open in the top of the sixth with a four-run barrage thanks to an RBI double by Will Smith and a two-run single by Justin Turner.Left-hander Julio Urias will start for the Dodgers on Saturday in the final game before the All-Star break.
