Hank Aaron smashed two homers, each with Sonny Jackson on base, to lead the Braves' attack in a 6-4 victory over the Astros. After Jackson singled and Aaron homered in the first inning, Rico Carty also hit for the circuit. Hal King singled in the fourth, advanced on an error and scored on a single by Jackson before Aaron hit his second round-tripper of the game.
