Thursday 4/14/1980: Baltimore has no chance in a NO-HITTER by Scott Sanderson
BALTIMORE - Baltimore's bats were sleeping, and Boston's Scott Sanderson gave them no chance at all to wake up. He was untouchable in firing a no-hitter in his 3rd game started this season. Carlos May spoiled the bid for a perfect game when he walked with 1 away in the 5th inning. Sanderson (1-1) struck out 5 and walked 3, throwing 77 of 130 pitches for strikes. 'They took some ugly cuts at my breaking stuff, so I kept throwing it. Fortunately they were not able to adjust in time.' Boston's designated hitter Herman Hill collected 2 hits in 3 trips to the plate. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Sanderson. Boston scored 5 runs on 11 hits.

Saturday 4/9/1980: Houston has no chance in a 1-hitter by Mike Corkins

Corkins (1-0) fanned 4 and walked 1, throwing 110 pitches. 'That was one of the best games of my career. I had my stuff working very well today.' Bobby Murcer provided San Diego with the offense Corkins needed as he finished with 2 hits in 2 AB, homering once. San Diego improved its record to 3-4, scoring 5 runs on 7 hits.
Friday 4/8/1980: Philadelphia's Mike Schmidt gets the cycle
PHILADELPHIA - Mike Schmidt is a pretty good hitter, but his 4 hit performance seemed to surprise even himself considering that the hits added up to the cycle, one of the most difficult things to accomplish in baseball. A RBI double off LaMarr Hoyt in the 1st inning accounted for his 1st hit. In the 3rd inning he unloaded a RBI triple off LaMarr Hoyt. In the 5th inning he unloaded a solo homerun off LaMarr Hoyt. A single in the 7th off Fritz Peterson accounted for his 4th hit. That drive completed the cycle, causing a smile on his face! Mike scored 2 runs, and he collected 3 RBI as well! He is hitting .238 this season, with 1 HR and 3 RBI. 51 players in league history have so far hit for the cycle, including Mike. Jeff Burroughs was the last player to hit for the cycle, doing it 4/12/1979.
Monday 4/4/1980: Philadelphia has no chance in a 2-hitter by Tom Hausman
ATLANTA - Philadelphia's offense is struggling, and Atlanta's Tom Hausman didn't help them. The right-hander fired his 1st shutout of the season, a 2-hitter. Hausman (1-0) struck out 1 and issued 1 BB, throwing 52 of 90 pitches for strikes. 'I had my stuff going. Everything I tried worked. What a day!' The hitting star for Atlanta was third baseman U.L. Washington, he stroked 2 hits in 4 AB. The final score of the game was 4-0.
Monday 4/4/1980: Frank Tanana pitches his 1st shutout of the season
CHICAGO (A) - Chicago (A)'s Frank Tanana overmatched the opposing hitters all day long. Milwaukee had no chance, collecting just one hit against the left-hander. 'Hey, that's my job! Everytime I take the mound I give the best I can. And my best stuff was too much for them today.' Tanana (1-0) struck out 2 and issued 2 BB, throwing 48 of 90 pitches for strikes. Chicago (A)'s designated hitter Mike Rogodzinski went 2 for 4, homering once, with 5 RBI. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Tanana.
