The Seattle Mariners began their quest for a 3-peat with an opening day hosting of the New York Yankees. After taking a 1-0 lead off of Yankees starter Ron Guidry, New York took a 2-1 lead in the 6th when George Brett hit a 2-run homer off of Mike Witt. Seattle tied the game in the 7th when a Ruppert Jones single scored pinch runner Dave Collins. With no scoring in the 8th or 9th the game went to extra innings where Seattle won when Andre Thornton doubled home Al Woods for the win. Seattle starter Mike Witt pitched a strong 8 innings giving up the 2 runs on only 4 hits while striking out 7 but he only earned a no-decision. Reliever Brad Lesley pitched 2 innings in relief for the opening day win while New York reliever Jeff Reardon earned the loss giving up a run on 3 hits in 1.2 innings.
