Nolan Ryan, who set a modern major league record by striking out 383 batters last season, fanned only five and walked 10, but the Angels' righthander defeated the White Sox, 8-2. Ryan yielded just five hits. Wilbur Wood, who drew the opening-day assignment for the White Sox before a crowd of 30,041, was removed in the seventh inning when the Angels went ahead, 3-2. Terry Forster relieved and was kayoed in the eighth as the Angels broke the tight game apart with five runs.
