Nolan Ryan pitched seven hitless innings in a bid for his second consecutive no-hitter and third of the season, but luck was against the Angels' ace, who eventually lost to the Orioles in 11 innings, 3-1. Mark Belanger singled in the eighth for the Orioles' first hit and added another single in the ninth.

When Tommy Davis doubled with one out in the 11th for the Orioles' third hit, Angels' manager Bobby Winkles removed Ryan and brought in Dave Sells. Paul Blair grounded out, but Elrod Hendricks walked and Terry Crowley then doubled to drive in two runs. The Orioles' initial run in the first came without the benefit of a hit on a pass to Rich Coggins, a stolen base, wild pitch and infield out by Davis. Frank Robinson homered in the fourth for the Angels' run off Mike Cuellar, who pitched the route for the Orioles on a yield of nine hits. [The Sporting News]
