I jinxed him–RBI double to the next batter!

I think the FOX announcers jinxed him at the same time. Along with the Tiger’s team. Oh well.

Is there any reason why you made it so the pitcher won? Poor Andy Hawkins didn’t make the list.

Also note:
*Maloney had one HBP
*Burnett had one HBP, one WP, *and* gave up three SBs.
*Ellis’ game lives in infamy

Steve Barber gave up 10 walks in his combined no-hitter with Stu Miller in 1967. The Orioles lost 2-1 on a Mark Belanger error in the ninth. I was there!

Hmm, my search was for individual games so it doesn’t include any combined no-hitters. Thanks for pointing that out, apelham.

bahamuto–yeah games where the pitcher lost no longer count as official no-hitters.

Andy - are you sure about that? I believe that the reason the Hawkins game is not an official no-hitter is because he only pitched 8 innings, not becuse he lost the game.

From Wikipedia:
The 4-0 loss was the largest margin of a no-hitter loss in the 20th century, and Hawkins became the first Yankees pitcher to lose a no-hitter. On Sept. 4, 1991 the Committee for Statistical Accuracy, appointed by Commissioner Fay Vincent, changed the definition of a no-hitter to require that a pitcher throw at least nine full innings and a complete game. Since Hawkins played for the visiting team in the game in question, the White Sox never batted in the ninth inning, Hawkins lost the credit for a no-hitter.

so you could lose 1-0 (or any other score) in the 10th inning of a game and get a no hitter. it’s not based on the loss it’s based on the number of innings pitched. or if you’re team was the home team and was losing, said pitcher would pitch 9 no hit innings and still manage to lose.
the requirements are 9+ innnings pitched, and a complete game. not a win.

In the mid-1980s MLB changed the definition of no-hitters and perfect games. Scratched from the books were Ernie Shore’s perfect game and the link. They didn’t even make a new category, like “oddball games.” Nope. They just scratched them out all together from the annals.

er…”and the link” should read “and the like”
