For the third time in his career Nolan Ryan tied the major league record for most strikeouts in three consecutive games, 41, but the Angels' righthander failed to break the mark when he was lifted with one out in the eighth inning in a 7-3 victory over the Brewers. Ryan fanned nine.

The Brewers took a 3-0 lead against Ryan before the Angels erupted for five runs in the third. After a double by Bob Heise and two walks loaded the bases, Leroy Stanton knocked in one run with a single. Frank Robinson doubled to send two runs across the plate and another scored when Pedro Garcia dropped the throw from the outfield. Joe Lahoud then capped the rally with a single to drive in Robinson. Bob Oliver added two runs with a homer in the eighth inning. [The Sporting News]
