Nolan Ryan pitched a no-hitter for 7 1/3 innings before being foiled in his bid for the fifth gem of his career but emerged with an easy 13-1 victory over the A's as the Angels extended their winning streak to 10 games. Mitchell Page ruined Ryan's no-hitter with a single. One out later, Ryan walked Dwayne Murphy and left the game, complaining of a groin pull.
