List of Milwaukee Brewers no-hitters
The
catcher's interference".[4] No-hitters of less than nine complete innings were previously recognized by the league as official; however, several rule alterations in 1991 meant the exclusion of no-hit games of less than nine innings.[5] A perfect game, a much rarer feat, occurs when "no batter reaches any base during the course of the game."[4]
Milwaukee's two no-hitters were accomplished by a total of three pitchers. One was a
combined no-hitter
. Both have been pitched in road games, with none thrown at their home ballpark.
History
The Brewers' first no-hitter was
third base in the fourth inning. In the seventh, Dale Sveum turned Fred Lynn's sharply hit grounder into a double play. Robin Yount recorded the final out with a diving catch of another Murray liner in the ninth.[6]
Pitchers
Cleveland Indians, 3–0, in Milwaukee's second no-hitter on September 11, 2021, at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.[8] Burnes allowed no base runners through six innings before walking the lead-off hitter, Myles Straw, in the seventh.[8] He exited the game after throwing 115 pitches through eight shutout innings and having struck out 14 of 25 batters.[9] Closer Josh Hader came in for the ninth and required nine pitches to secure the no-hitter.[9] He struck out two of three batters, including Straw, who had spoiled the perfect game bid, to end the game.[8]
