Nolan Ryan recorded his eighth victory, 5-1, with final-out help from Don Kirkwood, as the Angels broke through with four eighth-inning runs and defeated the Orioles' Mike Torrez. Singles by Tommy Harper, Bruce Bochte and Dave Chalk were good for a 1-0 California lead in the fourth. Al Bumbry's bunt single in the sixth was the first hit off Ryan, who took a 5-0 lead into the ninth after the Angels scored four unearned runs in the eighth.
