Nolan Ryan unsatisfied after 19th win in doubleheader
Nolan Ryan after his 19th win of the season struck out seven to reach within 28 of the major league strikeout record. He pitched a five hitter for his 24th complete game this year in California’s 6 2 victory over the Texas Rangers in the opener of a two night double header. Ryan said breaking the strikeout record without winning 20 would be a disappointment.
