Nolan Ryan became the major league's first 14-game winner, with a big offensive assist from Don Baylor, as the Angels turned back the Mariners, 7-2. Baylor singled home Rance Mulliniks with the game's first run in the third inning, homered on the heels of Tony Solaita's double in the sixth, then homered again in the seventh following a double by Bobby Bonds and an intentional walk to Solaita, to wind up his six-RBI evening. Seattle scored both its runs in the third when Craig Reynolds doubled, moved to third on a sacrifice and scored on Dave Collins' sacrifice fly. Dan Meyer followed with his 13th homer of the year.
