Angels’ Ryan Johnson, Two Relievers Combine on 1-Hitter in 3-0 Victory over the Rangers
Ryan Johnson struck out three in seven innings and the Angels earned their 11th shutout of the season.
- On Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026, rookie right-hander Ryan Johnson carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning, allowing just one hit across seven scoreless innings as the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Texas Rangers 3-0 in Arlington.
- Since interim pitching coach Tim Leveque took over last week, Johnson simplified his approach by throwing more cutters and fewer sinkers, increasing his sinker velocity to 94 mph on Saturday.
- Zach Neto sparked the Angels' offense with three hits, including two doubles and a triple, while Mike Trout added two hits, and the defense remained flawless throughout the game.
- Michael Fulmer and Ryan Watson secured the final six outs to complete the Angels' 11th shutout of the season, marking the eighth time Los Angeles has defeated the Rangers in 12 matchups.
- Sunday's series finale at Globe Life Field features Angels LHP Yusei Kikuchi against Rangers RHP Cal Quantrill, with Kikuchi making his first appearance since May 29 after shoulder inflammation.
