Although Nolan Ryan struck out 12 batters, Reggie Jackson hit a two-run homer off the Angels' speedballer in the first inning to provide the Orioles with a 3-1 victory. Dave Pagan, obtained from the Yankees in a June 15 deal, made his first start for the Orioles and was the winner with relief help from Tippy Martinez, who also was acquired in the Yankee swap.
