A Milwaukee record-setting crowd of 55,120 saw a great pitching duel end with the Brewers losing their home opener to the Orioles, 1-0. Jim Palmer, who yielded only two hits, posted the Orioles' first victory of the season. The shutout was the 43rd of his career. The Orioles, who collected five hits, beat Bill Travers in the ninth inning with a run on a single by Eddie Murray, sacrifice by Lee May and single by Rick Dempsey.
