04/06/1972 - Padres Throttle Giants, 6-1
The 1972 season did not get off to quite the start the San Francisco Giants had hoped for, with an opening day loss to the San Diego Padres at Candlestick Park. The final score was 6-1. Starting Pitcher Fred Norman was named player of the game for San Diego. Chris Speier's solo shot in the 7th is the lone bright spot for the home team.
Kingman goes 0-5 in the cleanup spot, and makes an error starting at 3rd base.
