With a crowd of only 11,319 on hand, the Yankees opened their home season by defeating the Brewers, 2-0, behind the three-hit pitching of Steve Kline. Two walks and a single by Horace Clarke accounted for the Yankees' initial run in the third inning. A single by Roy White, double by Ron Blomberg and sacrifice fly by Johnny Callison added the other counter in the fourth.
