The Brewers got this day in 1997 off to a good start, beating the Rangers 8-5 in game one of a doubleheader in Arlington. The second half of the day, unfortunately, would not go as well.
The Brewers drew a couple of walks but were held hitless for 5.2 innings by future Brewer Rick Helling. Fernando Vina finally broke up the no-hitter with a single in the sixth, but that was the only offense the Brewers would muster on the day. They finished the night with just three walks and the one hit, losing 2-0. They wasted a pretty good spot start from reliever Joel Adamson, who allowed just two runs on six hits over 6.2 innings.
The Brewers were no-hit once by Justin Verlander in 2007, but one hitters have been relatively rare in the Miller Park era:
