A ninth-inning, bases-loaded sacrifice fly by Bruce Bochte scored Morris Nettles from third to give the Angels a 3-2 victory over the Royals. Winner Nolan Ryan went the route on a three-hitter, striking out 12, but California had to come from behind in the ninth to make him a winner. The Angels tied the score at 2-2 on a single by pinch-hitter Rudy Meoli, a wild pitch, walk, infield single by Mickey Rivers and bloop single by Tommy Harper. Both clubs scored single runs in the second. Kansas City took a 2-1 lead on John Mayberry's leadoff homer in the sixth. [The Sporting News] |
