The next pitcher the Rangers face, pictured above, could prove just as tricky
The Texas Rangers suffered an ignominious fate Wednesday night, getting no-hit by Mark Buehrle of the White Sox, 6-0. Buehrle gave up just one walk --to Sammy "The Bull" Sosa-- but promptly caught Sosa napping and picked him off first, meaning Buehrle only faced the minimum 27 batters.
The Sox got all the runs they needed from Jermaine Dye's grand slam in the bottom of the fifth. It was Buehrle's first no hitter since high school, and the first time the Rangers had gone without a hit since David Cone shut them down in 1994.

I don't know where you found the information that David Cone shut down the Rangers in 1994, but that's incorrect. Cone only faced the Rangers once in 1994, and that was a two-run affair that the Rangers ultimately lost 7-2.

The real last time that the Rangers were no-hit was in 1984 when Mike Witt of the California Angels blanked the Rangers in the final game of the season in front of almost nobody at Arlington Stadium.

Interesting, RadicalBender! I actually got that factoid off the Yahoo site, but now that you brought it up it looks like they've changed the factoid again. Here's what the gme's recap states: "It was the first no-hitter pitched against the Rangers since June 17, 1995, when Toronto's David Cone threw one in a 4-0 win." Even weirder: when you look that game up, which Cone did indeed pitch, here's the boxscore:

Clearly not much of a no-hitter when you give up three runs on three hits.
My baseball memory isn't as photographic as it used to be, but I do seem to recall Cone pitching a no hitter at some point in the 90s, even if it wasn't against the Rangers. But you're right, it wasn't on the date cited... unless, horror of ultimate horrors, baseballreference.com's data is somehow flawed.

Heh. Not sure where Yahoo! is getting their information from, but they might want to find a new fact checker.
Your memory, however, is not as faulty as you might believe. Cone did, in fact, throw a perfect game (not just a no-hitter) in 1999. It was the first perfect game and no-hitter in the history of regular-season interleague play: the Yankees blanked the Expos 6-0.
