Although Nolan Ryan struck out 11 to raise his league-leading total to 203, the Angels' righthander lost to the Orioles, 7-1. Ryan, who pitched six innings, walked six and gave up six runs, including a two-run homer by Boog Powell and three singles by Tommy Davis. Mike Cuellar, on the mound for the Orioles, allowed 10 hits, but the Angels' only run was unearned. [The Sporting News]
