Winning a three-hit duel, Pete Vuckovich pitched the Cardinals to a 1-0 victory over the Pirates in the Redbirds' first afternoon home opener in 26 years. The righthander finished with a flourish, striking out Tim Foli, Dave Parker and Willie Stargell in the ninth inning after the first two batters reached base. The lone run of the contest came in the second inning when Bobby Bonds drew a one-out walk from Bert Blyleven and scored on a double by George Hendrick. Perfect weather lured a crowd of 43,867.
