 Stevens was again behind the plate on April 30, when Steve Barber and Stu Miller of the Baltimore Orioles combined on a no-hitter against the Detroit Tigers, only to lose 2-1 after issuing ten walks and hitting two batsmen.Detroit won with two runs in the ninth inning, tying the game on a Barber wild pitch after he had issued two walks, and then bringing in the lead run on an infield error by normally sure-handed second baseman Mark Belanger, who dropped a perfect throw from shortstop Luis Aparicio.It was the first time in major league history that multiple pitchers combined on a nine-inning no-hitter only to lose.
