. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Posting his fourth shutout of the season, Nolan Ryan allowed only four hits and pitched the Angels to a 3-0 victory over the Twins. Paul Thormodsgard also allowed only four hits, but an error by the Twins' pitcher and another by Rod Carew enabled the Angels to score two unearned runs in the first inning. Bobby Bonds singled and drove in the only earned tally in the sixth. Carew went hitless in four trips, striking out twice, and his average dropped to .393. [The Sporting News]
