Nolan Ryan struck out 14 and allowed only three hits in pitching the Angels to a 4-0 victory over the Brewers. The Angels gave Ryan a two-run lead in the second inning on a single by Andy Kosco, triple by Leo Cardenas and wild pitch by Ken Brett. The other pair counted in the third on successive sacrifice flies by Ken Berry and Vada Pinson. [The Sporting News]
