On August 17, 1992 — Kevin Gross, retiring 22 of the final 23 batters he faces on his wife’s birthday, no-hits the Giants at Dodger Stadium, 2-0.  It is the eighth no-hitter in L.A. Dodgers history. Gross throws 99 pitches, 71 for strikes. The only threat is an 8th-inning liner by Robby Thompson that SS Jose Offerman snares. Eric Karros hits his 17th home run to provide the margin.

The LA right-hander’s no-no averts the team from being swept in a four-game series at home against the Giants for the first time in 69 years.
