Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill was removed after throwing seven perfect innings against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night, only to see the Los Angeles bullpen give it up in the eighth.
With the Dodgers ahead 5-0, first-year manager Dave Roberts brought Joe Blanton in to start the eighth inning, only to have outfielder Jeff Francoeur single to left field.
This isn't the first time this season the Dodgers have pulled a pitcher in the middle of a no-hitter. On April 8, Roberts pulled rookie Ross Stripling from a no-hitter after 7 1/3 innings pitched in a 3-2 win over San Francisco Giants.
