Jim Colborn turned in the first no-hitter of his career -- and first in the major leagues this season -- while pitching the Royals to a 6-0 victory over the Rangers. Only two Rangers reached base -- Toby Harrah, who was hit by a pitch in the fifth and Jim Sundberg, who walked in the sixth. Great defensive plays by outfielders Al Cowens and Tom Poquette preserved the no-hitter for Colborn, who fanned six.
