Former Cuban league teammates Yasiel Puig and Erisbel Arruebarrena each had two hits.

ON THE MOUND: Josh Beckett pitched the 24th no-hitter in Dodgers history, throwing a career-high 128 pitches in the progress. Beckett walked three and struck out six.

EXTRA BASES: Dee Gordon stole two bases, raising his major league-leading total to 30. He is within two of his single-season best of 32, set in 2012. Gordon has seven multi-steal games this season and 28 in his career.
