Justin Verlander threw a no-hitter with 12 strikeouts and 4 walks (3 of them to Bill Hall) as the Tigers beat the Brewers, 4-0, at Comerica Park.
Verlander's no-hitter was the first by a Tigers pitcher since Jack Morris threw one back on April 7, 1984 at Comiskey Park against the White Sox. The last time the Brewers were on the wrong end of a no-hitter was back on April 27, 1994 when Scott Erickson of the Twins tossed one at the Metrodome against the Brewers.
Steve Busby of the Royals is the only other pitcher to throw a no-hitter against the Brewers and that was back on June 19, 1974.
Other Tigers no-hitters:
Jim Bunning, July 20, 1958 at Boston (1st game)
Virgil Trucks, May 15, 1952 vs Washington AND August 25, 1952 at New York
George Mullin, July 4, 1912 vs St. Louis, (2nd game)
April 7, 1984 - Morris' no-hitter was also the NBC game of the week.
I remember it clearly because I took my SAT test in the morning and went to my Senior Prom in the evening at the venerable Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park.
