Murcer, who almost didn’t
make the team in spring training,
provided the biggest drama of the
day by hitting a 3-and-2 pitch off
reliever Steve Comer just over the
wall in right field for his sixth
career grand slam to highlight a
five-run seventh.

LOS ANGELES — Los
Angeles pitcher Fernando Valen
zuela may not speak English, but
in Thursday’s 1981 season opener
between the Dodgers and Hous
ton Astros, he spoke pretty good
baseball.
Valenzuela, a 20-year-old
rookie making his first major
league start, pitched a five-hitter
to carry the Dodgers to a 2-0 vic
tory over the Astros. It was the
thircf consecutive major league
victory without a defeat for Valen
zuela, a native of Sonora, Mexico,
who had a 2-0 record in relief at
the end of 1980 in pitching 17 2-3
innings without allowing a run.
He became the youngest pitch
er in the majors to open the season
since 1966 when Jim “Catfish’’
Hunter did it four days shy of his
20th birthday.

The screwballs have the Astros
baffled as Velenzuela retired 11 of
the last 12 batters he faced.
The 34-year-old outfielder, who
began his major league career
with the Yankees in 1965, re
ceived a standing ovation from the
crowd when he was announced as
a pinch-hitter for Dennis Werth in
the seventh.

Houston Manager Bill Virdon
said it was a remarkable pitching
performance. “For a 20-year-old,
that’s really unusual,” Virdon
said. “To have that much poise at
such a young age, it’s well, hard to
believe. A good screwball is a real
tough pitch to hit, and Valenzuela
has a real good screwball.”
The Dodgers jumped on loser
Joe Niekro for eight hits in the
seven innings he worked. Valen
zuela stretched his streak of in
nings without an earned run to 26
2-3, going back to last season.
The Astros had their best scor
ing opportunity in the sixth, when
with one out, Craig Reynolds sing
led and Cesar Cedeno doubled
but Valenzuela then retired the
next two men.
After his homer, the crowd
screamed so loudly that the game
was held up until Murcer came
out of the dugout and doffed his
cap to his adoring fans.
campus.
