The Dodgers are on the verge of being no-hit when they wake up with two outs in the 9th inning against the Padres. Four Padres pitchers combine to keep the Dodgers off the hit sheet through 8 innings: Aaron Harang (6 innings), Josh Spence (0.1), Chad Qualls (0.2) and Mike Adams (1). However, four Dodger pitchers do almost as well, blanking the Padres on one hit – a single by Cameron Maybin – through the top of the 9th. Luke Gregerson starts the bottom of the inning by striking out Matt Kemp and retiring James Loney on a ground ball before Juan Uribe breaks up the no-no with a double to left and Dioner Navarro follows with a single to center for a dramatic 1 – 0 win. Blake Hawksworth is the winner in what is Los Angeles’s third consecutive shutout.
