Billed as "The Game of the Day", Yankee ace Ron Guidry (0-0) squared up against Blue Jays ace Dave Stieb (01). Both starters were rocked in their first outing, and the trend continued for Stieb, as he gave up 5 through the fist three innings. He seemed to settle down before giving up two more and getting pulled in the seventh. Meanwhile, Guidry gave up one in the 1st and 1 in the 7th to earn a complete game victory by the eventual count of 10-2. Willie Randolph had a huge day for New York, going 3 for 4 with 4 runs scored while Dave Winfield also went 3 for 4 with 3 RBIs.

The performance of the day goes to Steve Mura, who pitched his second straight shutout to start the season 2-0 by a final score of 1-0. Frank Pastore went the distance for Cincinnati, giving up just seven hits to drop to 1-1.

The 4-0 Tigers looked poised to beat up on the 0-3 Royals. The Tigers got off to a 2-0 start, and Royals' ace starter Larry Gura went down in the fourth inning with a leg injury. Things were not looking up for Kansas City, but Jim Wright, Atlee Hammaker, and Dan Quisenberry tacked on 5 1/3 scoreless innings while Hal McRae and the Royals offense went crazy. McRae went 4 for 5 scoring 2 runs while Frank White went 2 for 3 with 4 RBIs. The Royals ended up scoring 9 to win their first of the year. Gura is expected to miss 2-3 weeks. Hammaker will likely get a couple of starts as we await Gura's return.

Cecil Cooper had a four hit game for the Brewers, scoring two and driving in two more as Milwaukee outslugged the White Sox 11-6. Ron Kittle hit his second home run of the year for Chicago.

George Hendrick went 4-5 with two runs scored to help the Cardinals overtake the Mets 6-2.

Ray Langford went to 2-0 as he and the A's beat the Steve Renko and the Angels 3-1.

Jose Cruz went 3 for 4 with 3 RBIs as Bob Knepper and the Astros beat Gaylord Perry and the Braves. Perry dropped to 0-2 on the season. Meanwhile, Dave Smith filling in for the closer role for the injured Joe Sambito, earned his third save.

There are no undefeated teams left in the Majors. The 4-1 Tigers lead the AL West by a half game over Cleveland while the 4-2 Twins lead the AL East by a half a game over Texas, Oakland, and California. Montreal and Philadelphia are tied atop the NL East at 4-1, a half game ahead of St. Louis, while Houston and Los Angeles are tied for the NL West lead at 4-2, a half game over San Diego. Toronto, at 0-5, is the only winless team.

There are six games scheduled for Tomorrow. The Game of the Day is the 4-3 Athletics playing in California against the 4-3 Angels. Steve McCatty, who got a no decision in his first start, will face Mike Witt, who is getting his first start since joining the rotation.
