Actually, there are three answers to your question.  According to the Sporting
News' "1981 Official Baseball Record Book," it happenned:

- May 26, 1956: John Klippstein, Hershell Freeman, and Joe Black of the Reds
  no-hit the Milwaukee Braves while losing 2-1.  Klippstein threw seven innings,
  Freeman threw the eighth, and Black pitched the rest.  Jack Dittmer of the 
  Braves doubled with two out in the tenth for the first hit, and Black lost
  on three hits in 11 innings.

- April 30, 1967: (this is the one mentioned in the original letter) Steve
  Barber and Stu Miller of the Orioles no-hit the Tigers in the first game of a
  double header and lost 2-1.   Barber pitched the first 8-2/3, and Miller
  threw the last 1/3.

- October 5, 1884: Charles Sweeney and Henry Boyle of the St. Louis club of
  the Union Association (a major league back then) no-hit the St. Paul club 
  in a five inning game while losing 1-0.  Sweeney pitched three innings and 
  Boyle threw the last two.
