| Nolan Ryan allowed only four hits and struck out 10 in a performance marred by eight walks, but the Angels' ace righthander was able to beat the Royals, 2-1. Mickey Rivers had a hand in both of the Angels' runs and also saved the game for Ryan by making a catch in the ninth inning and turning it into a double play. In the fifth, Ellie Rodriguez singled, Denny Doyle sacrificed and Rivers doubled. Rivers walked with two out in the seventh and scored from first base on a single by Dave Chalk and an error by Cookie Rojas, who dropped the ball after going out to take the throw from Jim Wohlford.
