Nolan Ryan allowed only two hits and fanned 10 to take over the A. L. strikeout lead with a total of 184 while pitching the Angels to a 3-1 victory over the Mariners. Joe Rudi started the Angels' scoring with a homer in the second inning. Singles by Ken Landreaux and Carney Lansford around a stolen base added a run in the third. A walk to Jim Anderson and singles by Lansford and Lyman Bostock completed the Angels' scoring in the fifth. Ryan, who walked six, lost his bid for a shutout in the ninth on two passes and a single by Dan Meyer. [The Sporting News]
