While Ken Holtzman and Rollie Fingers collaborated on a two-hitter, the Athletics made merry with the offerings of Nolan Ryan, knocking him out in the seventh inning, to defeat the Angels, 7-1. The Angels got both their hits and their run off Holtzman on doubles by Tommy Harper and Leroy Stanton in the first inning. Fingers relieved with two out in the seventh after Holtzman walked two batters.

Ryan, making his first appearance since pulling a groin muscle June 18, gave up nine hits, walked seven and yielded four runs. Don Kirkwood was tagged for the A's last three tallies. Claudell Washington accounted for four RBIs with a sacrifice fly, single and grounder. [The Sporting News]
