 Over the next three seasons, however, Colborn posted losing records (10-13 in 1974, 11-13 in and 9-15 in 1976) before being traded, along with Darrell Porter, to the Kansas City Royals.In 1977, Colborn won 18 games for a Royal team that won the second of three consecutive American League West titles (all three times, however, the Royals lost to the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series; Colborn did not pitch in the 1977 ALCS).On May 14 of that year, Colborn no-hit the Texas Rangers 6-0, the first no-hitter by a Royal at Royals Stadium and second overall in that park, after the first of Nolan Ryan's seven career no-hitters (1973).
