(Continued from Page 1)
New York opened the scoring in
the fourth inning. After Gary Ward
singled, Detroit third baseman
Darnell Coles threw Dave
Winfield's slow roller past first
baseman Darrell Evans. Winfield
reached second on the error and
Ward raced home with the unearned
run to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead.
The Tigers tied it in the sixth on
Lanry Hermdon's towering home run
to the 440-foot mark in left-center.
Detroit threatened to score in the
first inning when Winfield
mishandled Herndon's one-out shot
to rightfield. The ball bounced off
the base of the wall and Herndon
was awarded a triple. Yankees third
baseman Mike Pagliarulo saved a
run by snagging Chet Lemon's
sharply hit grounder and nailing
him at first. New York starting
pitcher Dennis Rasmussen struck
out Alan Trammell to end the
threat.
The Yankees choked potential
Tiger rallies in the eighth and ninth
innings. Both times the Detroit
lead-off batter reached first and was
sacrificed to second. Both times the
runners were stranded.
The 51,315 who braved the cold,
misty weather booed Governor Jim
Blanchard, who tossed out the
ceremonial first pitch. The fans had
little to cheer about throughout the
contest, either, as the Tigers
touched Yankee pitching for only
five hits, and never more than one
per inning.
The Detroit faithful applauded

Dan Pasqua's effort in the fourth
inning. The Yankee Ieftfielder
snatched Coles' foul fly out of the
stands as he dived over the railing.
Herndon attempted a similar catch
in the Yankees' fifth. Wary of the
railing, however, the Tigers
leftfielder stopped short and the ball
landed at his feet. More boos.
Blue Jays 7, Indans 3
TORONTO (AP) - Lloyd
Moseby homered and drove in three
runs and Jimmy Key pitched three-
hit ball for six innings yesterday to
lead the Toronto Blue Jays over the
Cleveland Indians, 7-3, in the
American League opener for both
teams.
Willie Upshaw also homered as
Toronto rapped 11 hits, seven for
extra bases. Tony Fernandez hit an
RBI triple and Jesse Barfield and
rookie Mike Sharperson added run-
scoring doubles.
Key and relievers Mark Eichhorn
and Tom Henke combined on a six-
hitter.
A crowd of 40,404 watched the
game, the first in the majors this
year. Temperatures were near 50 and
a light rain began to fall in the fifth
inning.
Key, 14-11 with a 3.57 earned-
run average last year, gave up a
two-run homer to Pat Tabler in the
fourth inning. He struck out three
and walked three.
