Rookie right-handed starter Walker Buehler and relievers Tony Cingrani, Yimi Garcia and Adam Liberatore pitched the first combined no-hitter in Dodgers history Friday night as Los Angeles defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 at Monterrey, Mexico.
Dodgers pitchers had 13 strikeouts with five walks.
The no-hitter was the Dodgers first since 2014 and the 23rd in franchise history.
"It's one of those where you're pretty angry to come out, but the bullpen guys we have -- I trust it in their hands, too, and it worked out," Buehler said during a postgame interview with SportsNet LA. "It's hard to explain how good those guys are. Getting to know them, you just trust them. They did their job, and we got the win, too."
In marked the 10th time in the Padres' 50-season history that they have been no-hit -- and is the first time since Tim Lincecum no-hit San Diego on June 25, 2014. The Padres are the only team in the Major Leagues whose pitchers have never thrown a no-hitter.
Buehler became part of history in only the third start of his Major League career. He is 2-0 with a 1.13 earned run average.
