The Athletics knocked out strikeout king Nolan Ryan and defeated the Angels, 7-0, behind the five-hit pitching of Ken Holtzman. Ryan yielded only three hits, but walked eight and fanned just two before being lifted with one out in the fifth inning. In the first, a double by Claudell Washington, three walks and an error by Bobby Valentine resulted in three runs. Reggie Jackson walked in the fifth, stole second and scored on a single by Sal Bando. After another pass and error by Dave Chalk, Skip Lockwood relieved and gave up a two-run single by Ray Fosse.
