If the pitcher allows no runners to reach base, the no-hitter is a perfect game.

Most of the time, a no-hitter is also a shutout.

However, as it is possible to reach base without a hit ( most commonly via a walk, error, or hit batsman ), a pitcher can throw a no-hitter and still give up runs, and even lose the game, although this is extremely uncommon.

A no-hitter is defined by Major League Baseball as follows: " An official no-hit game occurs when a pitcher ( or pitchers ) allows no hits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings.

The second-longest streak without having an official no-hitter pitched against them is held by the New York Yankees, who had a gap of between nine-inning no-hitters from September 21, 1958 to June 10, 2003.
