4/15/87: Juan Nieves's No-Hitter 

The best part: Paschke never -- NEVER -- mentions Nieves has a no-no going until after Yount's catch. Amazing.

Man, the amount of talent on the field that day was mind blowing. Between Ripken, Murray, Molitor, and Yount, they would end their careers with a combined 12,900 hits, 1,420 home runs, 6,325 RBI, and 37 All Star appearances. Wow.

Brewers have always been such a fun team, win or lose.

I went to high school with the Brewers' catcher, Bill Schroeder. Two hits, a run scored and he called a no-hitter! I'd say he had a good day. 👍

What a catch by Yount to end it 😎

Today my mom just decided to casually tell me that she was actually at this game. Like, what am supposed to make of that not so small tidbit of information?! History was made at this game!!

I remember this game like it was yesterday. I watched it on TV until bedtime and listened to the rest on the Radio from 7th inning on. Bob Uecker and his partner were losing their minds on the radio. After the no Hitter I ran downstairs and my dad was yelling that unbelievable! He said "These Stupid TV announcers didn't even mention that Juan Nieves was running a No Hitter the entire game! ". Looking back at this broadcast I can see exactly what he was saying.

There are two things I remember well about this game. I was a college student at UW-Oshkosh at the time. My roommate asked if I thought the Brewers would continue their winning streak to begin the season. I said I thought Juan Nieves was too inconsistent and felt they would lose. Then that night, watching the game, it was an unseasonably warm day/night that day. We had the door open. When Robin caught that final out, I was so excited. I walked to the door and opened it, hoping to people celebrating. I heard screams all over the neighborhood. I'll never forget it.

RIP Mike Hegan

That catch by Yount for the last out has to be one of the most clutch defensive plays in MLB history.

And then his arm fell off. I remember this game very clearly as well as the incredibly weird almost no hitter for the Brewers in 1988. Odell Jones In his first MLB start since 1981 who didn’t pitch in MLB for more than 2 years and hadn’t gone more than 5 since 1982 was perfect through 7 gave up 2 hits in the 9th

8194 games played in Brewers franchise history (as of 2020). This is the only no-hitter

Yount with the TV dive to save it

Nieves was only 21-22 here but didn’t pitch after 1988. Did he get hurt?

Nieves was on fire with a very special and individual slider - AMAZING. he knew exactly what he was doing, the coaches questioning him while executing a no hitter were completely and totally wrong...Greg Brock! Molitor and Yount, Molitor led the team. Paciorek with an amazing catch started it all off. the defensive plays handed Nieves this. as it should be in baseball.

Nieves pitch count in the game was 128. Very unlikely a young pitcher like that would have been able to finish a game like that today which is too bad.

Great game, one of the most historic in Brewer history. Jaun was on!

Do I EVER remember this night! But I have to admit, the first thought that came to my mind when Yount made the game-ending catch was, "Did he really HAVE to dive to make that catch?" LOL!

Baltimore went in the toilet after their 83 World Series team. They were dreadful by this point.

Awesome. Mention of John Counsell around 29:00. Craig's dad

Nobody better to call it than current TV voice of the Bucks, Jim Paschke!

That's how it should be. A no-no shouldn't even be discussed until the 8th inning.

Una pregunta Juan nieve es México

This video should be titled "Kermit the Frog calls Brewers 1st no-hitter"

two things you don't see much of anymore in MLB: 1. Stirrups 2. guys wearing undershirts

RIP Mike Flanagan.

Six weeks later,Juan Nieves cracked up when he looked into the box seats at Cleveland and saw ALF sitting in the seat next to me.That night,Paul Molitor threw a ball over the roof during infield practice.

RIP Mike Flanagan

Mention of John Counsell at 29:10 or so. That'd be Craig's dad...

Cal Ripken, Orioles Head Coach lol...I too caught that...btw, I'm at the 7th inning and are they gonna start talking about this no-hit bid, or...?

Gerhart did hit a home run off Nieves in third inning (40:00), if where two fans tracking it down was any indication...

Hello! Your baseball game collection is truly impressive. 🙂⚾️ By chance do you have game 3 and/or game 4 from the 1981 ALDS between the Brewers and Yankees? Thank you! Jeff

now the pitching coach of my Boston Red Sox!
