Officially it's not a no-hitter, since the Angels didn't play defense for nine innings. Being the visiting team, the Angels didn't play the bottom of the ninth because the Dodgers had already won.

Years ago, Matt Young, then of the Red Sox, threw 8 no-hit innings the Cleveland Indians and lost. Although he gave up no hits, he gave up 7 walks.
Because he lost, the no hitter was never recognized.

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, DtS? I've heard of credit being given for a no-hitter after a 5-inning rainout. Also more than one no-hitter.

This is the third time in the expansion era (since 1961) that baseball has had an eight-inning no-hitter: Boston's Matt Young threw one against Cleveland in 1992, and the Yankees' Andy Hawkins pitched one against the White Sox in 1990. Hawkins' no-hitter was officially considered a no-hitter at the time, but in 1991, the rule was changed, negating his gem. Now, according to major league rules, an official no-hitter is "when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings.'' So, the no-hitters by Young and Hawkins are not considered no-hitters, nor is the no-hitter thrown by Weaver and Jose Arredondo (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=8231), who pitched the seventh and eighth innings for the road team Saturday night.
