One strange inning turned a game with zero hits into a 1–0 victory.

On June 28, 2008, the Dodgers pulled off one of baseball’s strangest victories, beating the Angels 1–0 without recording a single hit. In the fifth inning, Matt Kemp reached on an error, stole second, advanced to third on a wild throw from the catcher, and scored on a sacrifice fly. That lone sequence produced the only run of the game. It made the Dodgers just the fifth modern-era team to win despite finishing hitless.
