Tuesday, April 3rd

IN THE NEWS: Arbitrator Richard Bloch rules that the Royals Willie Wilson and the Mets Jerry Martin can return to action on May 15th, the day their year-long suspensions are first due to be reviewed.

After rain washes out yesterday's opener at Royals Stadium, Yul Bryner tosses out the first ball and Kansas City opens with a 4–2 win over the Yankees. The threat of snow holds the crowd to just 10,006. Bud Black, with relief help from Dan Quisenberry, tops Ron Guidry, still winless in Openers. Onix Concepcion hits Guidry's first pitch of the game for a homer, while Dave Winfield has a two-run homer for New York.

Sunday, April 8th

IN THE NEWS: Tom Seaver makes an inauspicious American League debut, allowing five runs in 4 1/3 innings in Chicago's 7–3 loss to Detroit.

In a 3–1 loss to the Mets, Astros SS Dickie Thon is hit in the face by a Mike Torrez pitch that breaks the orbital bone around his eye. Thon will be operated on April 11, but will miss the rest of the season. When he returns, the All-Star SS will be plagued with blurred vision and be relegated to a backup role.

In San Diego, Ryne Sandberg cracks a 10th inning run-scoring triple to make the score 7–5 over the Pads, and then steals home to seal it for the Cubs.

Admitting he has a cocaine problem, Pittsburgh's Rod Scurry checks into a 30-day drug rehabilitation program. He will return to action on May 13th.

IN THE NEWS: Montreal's David Palmer, who missed all of the 1983 season following elbow surgery, pitches a rain-shortened 5-inning perfect game 4–0 against the Cardinals to give the Expos a doubleheader sweep. It is the 4th perfect game of less than nine innings in ML history.

At home before 34,395 fans, the Tigers beat the White Sox 4–1, ending LaMarr Hoyt's personal 15-game winning streak. Dave Rozema pitches six shut out innings for the win, while Lou Whitaker has a homer and three runs scored.
