LA Dodgers defeat San Francisco Giants 2-0. The Dodgers get their major league-leading ninth shutout of the season as they quiet the Giants. Dodger starter Jason Johnson in his first start in two years went six scoreless innings giving up only five hits. On a very strange play in the sixth inning, Fred Lewis bobbled a line drive by Casey Blake into the left field stands, grabbed the ball and got James Loney out at home. However since the ball got bobbled into the stands, it was considered an overthrow allowing Loney to score the second run.
LA Angels defeat Boston Red Sox 6-2. The Angels just keep killing the Sox. John Lackey got his groove back along with his nasty breaking ball throwing a no hitter for 8 1/'3 innings. He pitched the complete game despite giving up two runs in the final 2/3 innings. What a performance. And while the Angels scored six runs, they have now officially gotten scarier. Yes, the Angels won the Mark Teixeira sweepstakes giving up first baseman Casey Kotchman and pitching prospect Stephen Marek.

Lackey's almost no-no is a huge nail in the coffin carrying the Red Sox Nation. Manny's mayhem will help that organization implode by the playoffs.

The description of the strange play in the Dodgers/Giants item might be little unclear. Blake's line drive was not driven into the stands, but into left field near the foul line which, after misfielding the ball, Lewis managed to fumble out of his glove into the stands.
It took a while for the scoreboard operator to finally display an explaintion of the five minutes it took for the ump squad to figure it all out.
