Synopsis >

LA Dodgers 0 at Cincinnati Reds 1, F -- Despite cooling his heels (and arm) during a two-and-a-half hour rain delay, once the game started, Cincy's Tom Browning methodically retired every Dodger he faced, recalling a night barely three months earlier when he had a perfect game for 8 1/3 innings. This time, Browning's dominance was virtually matched by Los Angeles' Tim Belcher, who also took a no-hitter into the sixth inning. Would the rain hold out long enough to allow these two hurlers to make a run at history?
