who was no. 6?

[greelhappy]

Verlander pitched the 6th. no hitter in club history. Virgil Trucks ( 2 in one season), Jim Bunning (1) and Jack Morris (1). Thats five, who pitched the 6th. And why do I know that Harry (Suitcase) Simpson broke up Art Houtemans bid for a no hitter with 2 out in the 9th with a base hit to left, but can't remmember where I put my coffee.

George Mullin or Mullins in the teens...think it might have been the first one for the franchise

GO GEORGE

I remember watching Milt Wilcox going for a perfect game only to lose it with 2 out in the 9th. I think Jerry Hairston broke up the no-no. This was in the early to mid 80's.

I was a junior in HS when that happened and my heart was broke. I'll never forget my dad, brother and I cheering every pitch he made! If I remember correctly it was a perfect game up until the 9th.

George Mullin is correct. 1912, I think.

The Tigers have been no-hit 12 times.

What pitcher and team no-hit the Tigers, but lost the game 2-1?

He died a few months ago and that jogged my memory of that game.

Steve Barber...that is crazy...giving up 2 runs without giving up a hit...

I watched Justin Thompson come very to pitching a no hitter in the late 90s only to give up a homerun to Alex rodriguez late in the game. seatle scored in the 8th i believe to take a 1-0 lead and i left because i figured it was over. the tigers came back and won 2-1 or 3-1 in the 9th. I thought i was going to see a no-no that night while sitting in the stands at tiger stadium.

I was right about the near perfect game.

In '82, Wilcox had a 12-10, 3.63 year, again an above-average starter. In 1983, he had a 11-10, 3.97 season. On April 15, he retired the first 26 batters. Pinch-hitter Jerry Hairston ruined his perfect game bid by lining one just out of the reach of Lou Whitaker. Milt did get credit for a one-hit shutout however but "felt rotten." He did not even go to bed that night, roaming the streets of Chicago instead. It was the third time in Major League history that a perfect game had been broken up with one out to go.


I can't beleive I still remembered the batters name that broke up that game 24 years later. Some things just stick with you I guess.
