The largest opening-night crowd in the Dodgers' Los Angeles history, 52,703, saw the Padres explode for seven runs in the seventh inning to gain an 8-5 victory and snap a 12-game winning streak for Burt Hooton. Tito Fuentes kayoed Hooton with a two-run single that sent the Padres ahead, 3-1. After Stan Wall relieved, Willie Davis singled to load the bases and Dave Winfield hit a grand-slam homer.
