Dodgers learn meaning of 'no' again as Cubs' Jake Arrieta pitches a gem

Perhaps the Dodgers' sabermetrically-inclined front office might want to consider revisiting some of baseball's more traditional metrics.

You know, like hits.

The Dodgers had none Sunday night against Jake Arrieta in a 2-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium, only nine days after they were no-hit by Mike Fiers of the Houston Astros.

These first-place, $300-million Dodgers did something none of Frank McCourt's cash-strapped clubs ever did, becoming the first team in National League history to be no-hit twice in so short a period.

This latest indignity was particularly untimely, falling on the eve of the team's most important series of the season: a three-game showdown at Dodger Stadium against the second-place San Francisco Giants.
