Ralph Houk, making his Detroit debut as manager of the Tigers, had the occasion spoiled by his former Yankee players, who posted a 3-0 victory. With a crowd of 44,047 on hand for the Tigers' home opener, the Yankees struck quickly for two runs in the first inning on a walk to Roy White, single by Thurman Munson, error by Willie Horton on the hit and single by Lou Piniella. Their other run counted in the seventh when White doubled and Elliott Maddox singled.
