Matching the best record of the Seattle Pilots last season, the new Brewers extended their winning streak to five games by defeating the Senators in a doubleheader, 6-5 and 7-6. In the opener, the Senators took a 5-4 lead when Rick Reichardt homered with a man on base in the seventh inning. Ted Kubiak led off with a homer in the ninth to tie score and the Brewers then pushed across the winning run on a walk to Ted Savage, double by Danny Walton, intentional pass to Jerry McNertney and single by Wayne Comer.

In the nightcap, the Brewers used homers by Mike Hegan, Tommy Harper and Skip Lockwood to build a 6-0 lead, but the Senators came slugging back with circuit clouts by Mike Epstein and Reichardt in a five-run rally in the eighth and tied the score when Frank Howard homered in the ninth. The Brewers were not to be denied, however, and scored the winning run in their half of the ninth on a single by McNertney the with bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
