Today in Baseball History - 1990 - It's tough to win if you don't score. Andy Hawkins of the Yankees pitched the sixth no-hitter of the season. He lost the game. With a score tied at zero in the eighth, Sammy Sosa reached on a Mike Blowers error. Two walks loaded the bases. Robin Ventura hit a sacrifice fly to left field . . . which was dropped by Jim Leyritz. Ivan Calderon hit a fly to Jesse Barfield in right . . . who also dropped the ball. The Yankees lost to Chicago, 4-0. Hawkins was the second pitcher in history to lose a major league no-hitter. Ken Johnson of Houston lost one, 1-0, in 1964.
