Sandy Koufax remains the only Dodger to pitch a perfect game on Sept. 9, 1965.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto is 3 outs away from throwing the 24th no-hitter in Dodgers history, and the first solo no-hitter in MLB since Blake Snell of the Giants in 2024.

The Chicago White Sox just trounced the two-time World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-2, and are in first place with a 37-31 record.
They didn't win their 37th game of the season in 2024 until Sept. 24 when they were 37-120.
Welcome to a historic turnaround.
