Original Toronto Star caption: Blue Jays' designated hitter Cliff Johnson may well be asking where did all the hits go, as he studies his bat during yesterday's home opener at Exhibition Stadium, won by the Baltimore Orioles, 2-1. Johnson, who was Jays' star of the game in their 7-4 loss in Kansas City Sunday, had an 0-for-2 afternoon yesterday as Jays were held to four hits. Oriole catcher Rick Dempsey appeared delighted with the power shortage.
