Texas fans certainly got their money's worth at The Ballpark.  J.C.
Romero(4-1), with relief help from Ray King, pitched a rare no-hitter as the
mighty California Angels toppled the Texas Rangers 9 to 0.

California came up with 4 runs in the 3rd inning with the help of 5 hits.
That was all the runs Romero needed.  California rapped out 11 hits for the
afternoon.  

King got the save, his 5th.  Bruce Chen(3-9) took the loss.  He gave up 4 runs
in 2 and 2/3 innings of work.  'I gave it everything I had. It's probably the
greatest day of my life,' Romero said. 'I was out there focusing on my
catcher's glove, that's all. I just concentrated on pitching my game.'
