Winston Llenas, pinch-hitting for Nolan Ryan in the ninth inning, brought victory to the Angels' pitcher by driving in a run with a two-out single to beat the Brewers, 1-0. Earl Stephenson, who drew his first major league defeat, gave up a single by Ken McMullen to open the ninth.

Leo Cardenas sacrificed pinch-runner Syd O'Brien to second. After an intentional pass to Leroy Stanton, Jeff Torborg flied out before Llenas batted for Ryan. [The Sporting News]
