Snapping a six-game losing streak, the Angels defeated the Indians, 6-1, behind the pitching of Nolan Ryan and Paul Hartzell. Ryan developed a blister on his pitching hand and had to quit the mound after five innings. The Angels decided the game in the first inning, scoring three quick runs, two counting on a single by Bruce Bochte. [The Sporting News]
