Although Nolan Ryan's shutout streak was broken, the fireballing righthander pitched the Angels to a 2-1 victory to split a doubleheader with the Athletics, who smashed three homers among their 12 hits to win the first game, 10-5. Matty Alou and Gene Tenace each homered with a man on base in the second inning of the lidlifter and Blue Moon Odom added a circuit clout in the fifth. Alou's homer was his first in the A. L. since coming to the A's from the Cardinals.
