IN THE NEWS: In his first appearance as a Met since 1977, Tom Seaver combines with Doug Sisk to shut out the Phillies 2–0 on five hits. It is Seaver's 14th National League Opening Day assignment, tying Walter Johnson's record with Washington.

At Seattle, the Mariners open with a 5–4 win over the Yankees. Gaylord Perry makes his 9th Opening Day start, but the win goes to reliever Bryan Clark. Richie Zisk, a Yankee Opening Day nemesis, hits a two-run homer in Seattle's 4-run 3rd inning to chase Ron Guidry. New York chases Perry in the 6th with back-to back homers by Dave Winfield and Steve Kemp. Steve Henderson scores the winner in the 7th when he hits his 3rd single, steals second, takes 3rd on a grounder and scores on a sac fly.

IN THE NEWS: Detroit P Milt Wilcox is one out away from a perfect game when pinch hitter Jerry Hairston singles, and Wilcox settles for a 4–0 one-hitter over White Sox ace LaMarr Hoyt. This is only the 3rd time in ML history a perfect bid has been stopped with one out to go.

The Astros avoid the worst start in modern ML history by beating the Expos 7–6 in 10 innings for their first win of the season in 10 games.

IN THE NEWS: El Paso beats Beaumont 35–21 to break the Texas League's 80-year-old record for total runs scored in a game. A 25-mph wind blowing out to right field at El Paso's Dudley Field was a big help to hitters. The only starter on either team without an RBI was the winners' SS Ernest Riles.
