Under the current rules, it's impossible. A pitcher doesn't get credit for a perfect game unless he pitches the entire game and allows no baserunners. There have been a few cases where a pitcher went 9 perfect innings then lost the game in extra innings. It used to be the case where if a pitcher pitched nine perfect innings, he would get credit for a perfect game even if he allowed baserunners in extra innings. However, these games are no longer officially credited as perfect games.
On May 26, 1959, Pittsburgh Pirate Harvey Haddix pitched 12 perfect innings but gave up an error in the 13th. The Pirates lost to the Milwaukee Braves 3-0.
On June 3, 1995, Montreal Expo Pedro Martinez pitched 9 perfect innings but gave up a hit in the 10th. The Expos beat the San Diego Padres 1-0.
It is possible to throw a no-hitter but still lose the game. New York Yankee Andy Hawkins and Boston Red Sox Matt Young both lost games in the early 90's without giving up a hit. The runs came as a result of errors by other team members.
yes, many have. I'm a mets fan and i kno that Pedro lost a few late in the game and that tom seaver took 2 no-hitters into the ninth inning before losing them.
The question appears to be asking whether a pitcher has pitched a no-hitter, but lost the game. One pitcher, Ken Johnson of the Houston Colt .45s, has managed this dubious accomplishment. On four occasions, a pitcher for the visiting team has pitched an eight-inning complete game without allowing a hit and lost, but under MLB's current definition these don't count as no-hitters.
Ken Johnson of the Houston Colt 45s pitched a no hitter against the Cincinnati Reds in 1964 and lost 1-0. Steve Barber and Stu Miller of the Baltimore Orioles combined on a no hitter against the Detroit Tigers in 1967 and lost 2-1. There have been several 8 inning no hitters thrown by pitchers that have wound up losing the game. Per MLB rules, a no hitter must be at least 9 innings in length, therefore, they are not recognized as no hitters by MLB.
In MLB, that has happened twice.
In 1964, Ken Johnson of the Houston Astros no hit the Cincinnati Reds and lost 1-0. Two errors and a ground out gave the Reds their run which came in the 9th inning. In 1967, Steve Barber and Stu Miller of the Baltimore Orioles combined on a no hitter and lost to the Detroit Tigers 2-1. Both Tiger runs came in the 9th inning on two walks followed by a sacrifice, wild pitch, another walk, and a fielder's choice.

Yes. A no hitter, by definition, is a pitched game where no opposing player reaches base by means of a base hit. A walk will break up a perfect game. A perfect game is a pitched game where no opposing player reaches base by any means. A walk or hit by pitch or error ends a perfect game but does not end a no hitter.
Don Larsen of the new york yankee's
19th perfect game ever pitched by Dallas Braeden for the Oakland A's.....
There has only been one no-hit game pitched in World Series competition, and that was New York Yankees hurler Don Larsen's perfect game on October 8, 1956. The Yankees blanked the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 6 of the 1956 World Series.
A Toronto player has never thrown a perfect game while on the team. However, on May 15th, 1981, Len Barker of the Indians threw a perfect game against the Blue Jays.

David Cone's in '99
The boy pitched a perfect game last weekend. That man is pitching as fast as lightning. At baseball practice, I pitched for almost an hour. That man pitched in the major leagues for 22 years.
He is a young baseball player who played in a showcase called "Perfect Game USA"

Only one pitcher, Randy Johnson, has pitched a perfect game for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
