The Yankees exploded for seven runs in the seventh inning of the first game and then took a quick lead in the second contest to sweep a twi-night doubleheader with the Brewers, 7-3 and 5-3. The Yankees were being shut out on two hits by Bobby Bolin in the lidlifter before breaking loose in the seventh when 12 men went to bat. Doubles by Jerry Kenney, Bobby Murcer and Thurman Munson highlighted the outburst.

In the nightcap, the Yankees scored two runs in the first inning and added the clinching pair in the third, with Pete Ward contributing an RBI single to each stanza. [The Sporting News]
