What’s harder than winning a game by keeping the other team hit-free? Why, losing a game despite keeping the other team hit-free.

Yeah, go ahead, scratch your head and mutter “WTF?” because the situation calls for both.

The LA Angels played city rival the LA Dodgers on Saturday and kept Joe Torre’s guys hitless. (It wasn’t technically a no-hitter because the Dodgers didn’t bat in the ninth). But thanks to a pair of Angel errors, the Dodgers used a steal and a sac fly to nab the game’s only run. . . marking the fifth time in MLB history that a hitless team has won a game.

Clay Buchholz, he of the fingernail injury, threw a no-hitter last year in his Major League debut. (And a shout-out goes to fellow Sox fans Caesar and Pat for joining the excitement).

As for Lester, he’s the first Sox leftie to throw a no-hitter since 1956. Check out the ESPN highlights here (2m, 38s):
