No, it was Juan Nieves in April 1987 during the 13-game win streak to start the season ... Higuera came close a couple of time, his best season was 1988, but he was hampered by injuries. If I remember correctly without checking the web he started with the Brewers in 1986 but already was in his late 20's and never pithced a no-no.

I'm sure about that because he was my favorite Brewers pitcher during his stint in Milwaukee.
