Buzz Capra, who led N. L. hurlers with a 2.28 ERA a year ago, pitched a three-hitter in his first start of the season and Darrell Evans and Dusty Baker each drove in a pair of runs in leading the Braves to a 4-2 victory over the Giants in the Giants' home opener, played before 17,649 fans. Singles by Marty Perez, Evans and Baker gave the Braves a tally in the first inning and Baker hit a solo homer in the sixth. The Giants tied the score in the seventh on a pair of walks, a sacrifice and infield out. In the decisive eighth, Ralph Garr singled and Evans homered to win the game.
