Playing his first game in a Giants' uniform, Bobby Murcer doubled in the 10th inning to set up a 2-0 victory over the Padres. A crowd of 19,823 was on hand for the San Diego opener, which had twice been delayed by rain. Randy Jones, who started for the Padres, matched ciphers with Jim Barr through the first nine innings, but the Giants went to work when Rich Folkers relieved in the 10th. Murcer, after hitting his double, scored the first run on a two-bagger by Gary Matthews. Chris Speier sacrificed and the second run counted on an infield out by Steve Ontiveros. [The Sporting News]
