Jose Contreras(1-0) thrilled the fans at Edison Int'l Field as he crafted a
no-hit masterpiece against the Houston Astros.  The Anaheim Angels won by a
final score of 2 to 0.

Contreras gave the home town fans an evening that they'll never forget.  He
walked 5 Houston batters.  The Anaheim players and coaches started to leave
Contreras alone with his thoughts after the game reached the 7th inning.  By
the time the 9th inning rolled around, you could hear a pin drop every time
he went to his wind-up - and an explosion after every out.  Anaheim had only
4 hits for the night.  

Kip Wells(0-2) suffered the loss.  'Not in my wildest dreams did I think this
would happen!' Contreras said as he stood at home plate to salute the fans.
'Once I got into the later innings, I decided to challenge every hitter, and
that turned out to be the right decision!'
