Despite compiling a record of just 52-62 by Friday, August 12, the Rangers were actually leading the
AL West Division. They had scored 613 runs (5.38 per game) and allowed 697 runs (6.11 per game). The Rangers' pitching struggled over the course of the strike-shortened season, finishing 1st in most runs allowed (697) and most home runs allowed (157). However on July 28,
Kenny Rogers pitched the 14th
perfect game in
Major League Baseball history, blanking the
California Angels 4–0 at
The Ballpark at Arlington. Needing 98 pitches to complete his masterpiece, Rogers struck out eight batters. He also survived three-ball counts to seven Angel hitters.
