Making his 19th start, Rollie Fingers turned in his first complete game of the season for the Athletics and also hit his first major league homer in a 4-1 victory over the Brewers. Don Mincher batted in two runs with a single and a homer. Phil Roof rapped a round-tripper for the Brewers' tally. [The Sporting News]
