Home runs by Terry Puhl and Jose Cruz triggered the Astros to a 3-2 opening-game victory over the Dodgers. Puhl gave the Astros a 1-0 lead in the first inning with a circuit clout off starter Burt Hooton's second pitch and Cruz upped the margin to 2-0 with his round-tripper in the second inning. Later in the same frame, Art Howe tripled and scored on a single by Alan Ashby. J.R. Richard struck out 13 batters in pitching the first eight innings and did not give up a hit until one out in the seventh.
