alright i was thinkin the other day
is it possible for a pitcher to get a no hitter but give up a run?
suppose hes pitching very well and hits 2 batters walks 2 batters
then gives up one run
ends up winnin the game
but no hits allowed
is it still considered a no hitter?

Ya, it is possible.

Pitched a no-hitter and lost

On April 23, 1964, Ken Johnson of the Houston Colt 45's (they became the Houston Astros the next season) became the only pitcher to lose a complete game no-hitter in nine innings when he was beaten 1-0 by Cincinnati. On July 1, 1990, Andy Hawkins of the New York Yankees lost 4-0, while pitching 8 innings of no-hit ball against the Chicago White Sox. The runs scored as a result of two walks, a misplayed ground ball, and two consecutive errors on fly balls, all of which combined to rob Hawkins of his no-hitter and the Yankees of the game, by a score of 4-0. In 1992, Matt Young of the Boston Red Sox lost an eight-inning no-hitter by a 2-1 score. In all of the 8-inning no-hit losses, the home team did not bat in the 9th, as it already had the lead, and so the visiting team did not pitch a 9th inning.

Of course it's still a no hitter. No hitter means no hits.

You can't lose a perfect game. You can lose a no hitter 15-0.

Yay! Question answered. No need for this thread anymore.
