In MLB, yes. MLB's definition of a no hitter is: "An official no-hit game occurs when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings." So a pitcher could pitch a no hitter for nine innings or nineteen innings but if a reliever comes in and gives up a hit, the no hitter is over.
Yes, multiple times.
Through the 2008 season, no Rockies pitcher has thrown a no-hitter.
Any team that had an opposing pitcher throw a perfect game or no hitter
The pitcher will have a "no decision" (neither a win nor a loss). In the case where the pitcher leaves for a pinch hitter, and the team rallies to take the lead and hold it for the remainder of the game, that pitcher would be the winning pitcher, provided he pitched the required 5 innings.
Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park on July 1, 1990. Unfortunately, the rules defining a no-hitter were changed by MLB in 1991 to state that the pitcher(s) must pitch at least 9 innings for the no-hitter to be 'official'. Since Hawkins 'only' pitched 8 innings, losing 4-0, the no-hitter is now deemed unofficial.

Pittsburgh Pirate pitcher Harvey Haddix received allot of consolation after throwing twelve perfect innings and losing the game to Milwaukee 1-0. I saw a similar question in "Is this one of your questions" however the one here better "fits" and tells more of a story.
A no hitter is a game where the pitcher of one team throws an entire game without letting up a hit
He had impressive scoreless streak of 26 innings during his first season with the New York Mets in 2006. But no Mets pitcher has ever pitched a no hitter, much less a perfect game.
When a pitcher throws hitless baseball for five innings, and the game becomes official because of rain, darkness or some other act of God. Several years ago, Major League Baseball erased several shortened no-hit games from the record books.
