Ken Holtzman's five-hit hurling, plus a homer by Joe Rudi, propelled the Athletics to a 3-1 victory over the Angels. Rudi's wallop, his 10th of the campaign, came off Nolan Ryan in the fifth inning and produced two runs. The other run came in the seventh when Dick Green singled after two bases on balls. Holtzman struck out 12 in posting his 12th win and his first since June 9. [The Sporting News]
