Brewers Pitchers Achieve Rare ‘Hidden No-Hitters’
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel discusses 'hidden no-hitters' by Brewers pitchers, including notable names like Hader and Higuera, and surprisingly, Krueger.
Milwaukee, WI, August 23, 2026 —
In an unusual turn of events for baseball statistics, several Milwaukee Brewers pitchers have achieved what are being termed ‘hidden no-hitters.’ This phenomenon, highlighted by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, refers to games where a pitcher or pitchers complete a full game without allowing any hits, yet their team does not secure a victory. This often occurs due to errors or walks that allow opposing runs without the benefit of a hit.
Among the notable pitchers who have been part of these ‘hidden no-hitters’ are prominent relief pitcher Josh Hader and starting pitcher Freddy Higuera. Both have experienced games where they prevented the opposition from recording a hit over their stints on the mound, but the outcome of the game did not reflect this statistical achievement.
Perhaps more surprising to some observers is the inclusion of pitcher Chris Krueger in this list. Krueger, who may not be as widely recognized as Hader or Higuera, also contributed to the trend of no-hit performances that did not result in a win for the Brewers. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s report delves into the specifics of these occurrences, examining the circumstances that led to these rare statistical anomalies.
The concept of a ‘hidden no-hitter’ underscores the complexities of baseball scoring and the many ways a game can be influenced beyond hits allowed. While a traditional no-hitter is a celebrated individual and team accomplishment, these ‘hidden’ versions highlight instances where stellar pitching was unfortunately not enough to secure a victory, often due to factors such as defensive miscues or walks.
Further details regarding the specific games, dates, and opponents involved in these ‘hidden no-hitters’ for Hader, Higuera, and Krueger were discussed in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s report. The analysis aims to shed light on these statistical curiosities within the broader context of Brewers’ pitching history.
