After a shaky start, Nolan Ryan settled down and pitched the Angels to a 3-2 victory over the Athletics. The fireballer walked the first three batters and gave up a run on a single by Joe Rudi but allowed only two more hits thereafter. The A's other run scored as Bert Campaneris bounced into a double play in the fifth.
