On April 11, 1990, Mark Langston and Mike Witt of the California Angels combine on a 1-0 no-hitter of the Seattle Mariners. The Angels remove Langston from the game early because of a spring training lockout that had limited preseason workouts. The game marks the first combined no-hitter since 1976, when Chicago’s Blue Moon Odom and Francisco Barrios no-hit Oakland.
