April 6-Padres 2 Giants 0

The 1971 season kicked off in San Diego as the Giants were shut out by Dave Roberts and the Padres 2-0.
Roberts tossed a complete game that saw the Giants nick him for just four hits.
Willie Mays tripled with two out in the first,but a follow up strikeout by Willie McCovey ended the threat.
The Giants would fail to have another runner reach third against Roberts.
Juan Marichal was the loser (0-1) as he allowed two runs in a seven inning outing.
Marichal had some control issues as he walked four Padres along with striking out five.

The series continues with Gaylord Perry for the Giants against San Diego's Clay Kirby...
