The Los Angeles Angels beat the Texas Rangers 3-0 on Saturday, limiting Texas to a one-hit effort as three Angels pitchers combine on the shutout. Rookie Ryan Johnson starts the effort and carries a no-hitter into the sixth inning before the combined pitching completes the game’s low-hit outcome.
Johnson strikes out three batters and allows no hits through much of his outing, finishing with seven innings pitched. He picks up the win after winning for the first time since July 19, improving his season record to 3-7. The report also notes that Johnson has produced similar dominant pitching earlier this season, throwing 6 1/3 innings of no-hit ball in a 5-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles on June 23.
Both outlets describe the same core result: the Angels’ pitching staff restricts the Rangers to one hit while the Angels score three runs to secure the shutout victory.
