After two days of delay because of bad weather, the Red Sox opened their home season before a crowd of 23,196, but failed to live up to the occasion and lost to the Orioles, 7-6, in 11 innings. The Orioles, who had a two-run homer by Rich Coggins before the game went into overtime, went ahead with a run in the 10th when Bobby Grich was safe on an error and Tommy Davis doubled, but Juan Beniquez homered in the Red Sox half to tie the score again. With one out in the Orioles' 11th, Elrod Hendricks singled and Coggins walked. Grich then bounced into a forceout at second, but Doug Griffin threw wildly to first trying for a double play, and Hendricks scored on the error.
