Playing before a standing-room-only crowd of 36,316 in the home opener at Wrigley Field, the Cubs survived a ninth-inning uprising and defeated the Phillies, 5-4. The Cubs jumped on Chris Short for three runs in the first on safe bunts by on Kessinger and Glenn Beckert and doubles by Ernie Banks and Johnny Callison. Two other runs counted in the seventh on a double by Kessinger, singles by Billy Williams and Ron Santo and a wild pitch. In the ninth, the Phillies rallied for their four runs on a single by Tony Taylor, triple by Don Money, single by Johnny Briggs and homer by Rick Joseph before Ken Holtzman wrapped up his victory.
