| Willie Mays, swinging at the first pitch thrown to him in the first inning, clubbed a homer to start the Giants off to a 4-0 victory over the Padres behind the five-hit pitching of Juan Marichal. The crowd of 34,554 at the Padres' opener was the largest for any game in the club's history. [The Sporting News] |
