Just when you thought you saw the best Dodgers major league debut this week, Ross Stripling stole the show. But in the end he and the Dodgers had nothing to show for it thanks to a 3-2 loss to the Giants in 10 innings.
Brandon Crawford took Joe Blanton deep to lead off the 10th inning for the walk-off win, but the crux of the game came two innings earlier.
Stripling was removed with one out in the eighth inning with a no-hitter still intact, but with a 2-0 lead and the tying run coming to the plate.
