Nolan Ryan struck out eight batters, bringing his season's total to 296, before the Angels' speedballer was knocked out in the sixth inning in a 6-2 loss to the Brewers. After taking a 2-0 lead with singletons in the fourth and fifth, the Brewers erupted for four runs in the sixth. George Scott and Darrell Porter walked and both scored on a double by Johnny Briggs. Bobby Mitchell then added two more runs with a homer. [The Sporting News]
