Homers by Gorman Thomas and Dick Davis in the sixth inning carried the Brewers to a 3-2 victory over the Angels. Nolan Ryan allowed only two hits going into the sixth, but after Don Money walked, Thomas came up with one out and smashed his 41st homer of the season. With two away, Davis cracked his round-tripper for what proved to be the winning run.

The Angels fell short with a pair in the eighth on a single by Larry Harlow, triple by Carney Lansford and sacrifice fly by Dan Ford. Although losing, Ryan struck out 10 and raised his season's total to 202 while pitching his 15th complete game. [The Sporting News]
