Nolan Ryan became a winner for the first time since pitching his second no-hitter of the season July 15, when the Angels defeated the Rangers, 3-2. Ryan struck out 11 to raise his year's total to 250. The Rangers were first to score, picking up a run in the third inning on a walk to Jim Mason and double by Dave Nelson, but the Angels came back with a pair in their half on singles by Ken Berry and Leroy Stanton, a pass to John Stephenson, sacrifice fly by Sandy Alomar and single by Al Gallagher.
