The first steal of home in Royals' history resulted in a 1-0 victory over the Angels. Amos Otis walked in the fourth inning, raced to third on a wild pickoff throw by Nolan Ryan and then stole home. Ryan yielded only one hit -- a single by Steve Hovley in the eighth. Eddie Fisher gave up two more hits in the ninth. Roger Nelson pitched the route for the Royals and doled out three hits.
