New York jumped out to the early lead in the first inning as they pummeled Los Angeles for 7 runs on 5 hits. That was all Ed Lynch(1-0) needed. Both teams ended up with 9 hits on the afternoon.
Orel Hershiser(0-1) was the loser. He was a hard-luck loser as he did not allow an earned run in his 7 innings of work.
