| On four occasions (including Hawkins), a team has thrown a no-hitter for eight innings in a losing effort, but those four games are not officially recognized as no-hitters by Major League Baseball because the outing lasted fewer than nine innings. On two occasions, a team has thrown a nine-inning no-hitter and still lost the game. One was a combined effort by the Orioles' Steve Barber and Stu Miller, therefore not included in this. The other (by a Houston Colt 45s pitcher) is included in this, but it is the only official occurrence of a pitcher losing a 9+ inning complete-game no-hitter. |
