. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Pitching in relief, Mike Marshall faced five batters in the ninth inning and failed to retire any as the Angels rallied for two runs to defeat the Rangers, 3-2. Nolan Ryan, who started for the Angels, allowed only three hits and struck out 12 before being replaced in the eighth when the Rangers went ahead, 2-1.

In the ninth, Darold Knowles took the mound for the Rangers, relieving Dock Ellis, and retired Jerry Remy. The Rangers then switched to Marshall. Dave Chalk greeted the change with a double and Joe Rudi was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Bobby Bonds singled, driving in Chalk with the tying run, and both Rudi and Bonds took an extra base on a fumble by Claudell Washington in left field. Marshall passed Mario Guerrero intentionally to fill the sacks again and then was tagged with the defeat when Ron Jackson singled. [The Sporting News]
