IN THE NEWS: Nolan Ryan no-hits the Phillies for 81/3 innings before Mike Schmidt singles and Ryan ends up getting no decision in Houston's eventual 3–2, 10-inning win. Ryan will have five one-hitters with the lone hit coming in the 9th inning.

At Los Angeles, veteran Don Sutton shuts out the Cubs, 4–0, beating Jamie Moyer. It is his last decision versus the Cubs and he closes out his career against Chicago at 18–20. Not bad, considering that his first 13 decisions against the Cubs were losses.
