Tuesday April 6, 1982
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Yielding just two hits, Rick Mahler pitched the Braves to a 1-0 opening-game conquest of the Padres. The shutout was the first of Mahler's major league career and only his second complete game in 15 starts. The lone run came in the fifth inning when Brett Butler drew a one-out walk and raced home on a hit-and-run double by Glenn Hubbard. [The Sporting News]
