Interestingly, it wasn't a shutout - the Angels won 3-1 and got their run on a wild pitch. (They led 1-0 at the time!)

Wasn't there a team a while back (possibly the Angels as well) whose pitcher tossed a no-hitter and lost?

There have been a few, but those have been retconned into NON no-hitters by, well, idiots.

Yeah but most of them didn't pitch nine innings.

I remember this happening, either last season or the season prior, to Jered Weaver in a 0-1 loss. Weaver is having an amazing season this year.

Edit: It was Weaver, but he only pitched 8 innings.

Santana had been 0 for 6 in 10 starts against Cleveland - with his first win coming in the form of a no hitter. The one run Cleveland scored began on an error at first, advanced on a steal at second, advanced to third on an out a first, and scored from third on a wild pitch. Wow.

I was amazed by a lot of this. The stat that Santana had never beaten Cleveland (seriously?), the no-hitter non-shutout, and the fact that...well...it's Ervin Santana. Santana's been the epitome of a borderline-good pitcher for years, but has never been anything but a #3 guy, at best.

Congrats to him.

Word. It's always been called a no-hitter, not a no-hit, no-run ballgame.

The one I remember is Andy Hawkins of the Yankees pitching a no-hitter against the White Sox at old Comiskey Park, yet losing it 4-0. IIRC all runs scored in the 8th after walking the bases loaded, and then back-to-back botched fly balls.

Well, they didn't say that if there's a run, it's not a no-hitter. It's that it used to be that you have to pitch nine hitless innings OR the full hitless game, and now you have to pitch nine hitless innings AND a full hitless game. So if you lose in a no-hitter and don't get to pitch the bottom of the ninth, it's not a no-hitter anymore. Rain-shortened no-hitters (which I can see) and Harvey Haddix deals also got taken out of the official ranks.

MAN, oh man, do the baseball gods like to torment Mets fans about never having a no-hitter. As if it's not bad enough how many no-hitters have been thrown by ex-Mets, now they say, oh, you got Santana? Fine, we'll let Santana throw a no-hitter--ERVIN Santana. Johan? Maybe if we're feeling charitable he'll be able to pitch this year....

Maybe Zack Wheeler, someday. Hope springs eternal.

Explain the scenario where you are pitching a no-hitter and don't get to pitch in the bottom of the ninth... you give up 1 run due to walks/errors as the visiting team?

Is that common enough that they had to make a special exception for it?

I'm too lazy to refine this list (baseball-reference.com) but I reckon it includes the ones you're talking about (I only see three?)

Thanks for the list, I was trying to remember this game where Boston threw a no-hitter (at the time) and lost 2-1 to Cleveland.

Yes. I'm not 100% sure of the no-hitter rule. I believe they used to call it a no-hitter if you were the only pitcher, even if the game was called after 6 innings or whatever.


    Is that common enough that they had to make a special exception for it?

I did in fact refine the list, and yes there are only 3 instances in which a pitcher has thrown a complete game (was the only pitcher for his team), had 0 hits allowed, and lost (if you pitch a complete game, you must by definition either win or lose). 2 of those instances involve a team on the road losing after 8 innings. The most recent one involved Matt Young of the Boston Red Sox getting the loss in a 2-1 game against the Cleveland Indians. In the first inning, Cleveland scored on a walk, a stolen base, another stolen base, and an error. In the third inning, they scored on two walks, a groundout that advanced the runner, and then a fielder's choice that scored the runner.

The third involved a guy throwing the complete 9 innings at home, but his team lost. That was Ken Johnson of the Houston Colts on April 23, 1964. The game was tied after 8 innings, but in the ninth Pete Rose reached 1st (and 2nd) on an error, moved to 3rd on a groundout, and then reached home on another error.

Special mention should be made of Francisco Cordova on July 12, 1997. He pitched 9 no-hit innings, 0 runs scored, but it was tied 0-0 after 9. He left the game and his team won it in the 10th. Probably not considered a no-hitter, through no fault of his own.

Johnson's is still categorized as a no-hitter, right? The removals were a) complete games less than nine innings (rain out, lost on the road), and b) no-hitter after nine innings that then went into extra innings and was broken up (Haddix as the most famous example). Nothing about losing was put into place.



Hooch is crazy.

I'm a huge Braves fan, but I've always like Benes, and was happy he did so good. I felt bad that like you said, he pitched a great game after coming out of retirement for nothing. Benes normally has the Braves number anyway.
