Homers by Bobby Brooks and Jim Driscoll helped the Athletics defeat the Brewers, 4-3, Driscoll's drive was the first of his major league career. In addition to hitting a homer, Brooks drove in what proved to be the winning run with a double in the fifth inning, enabling Catfish Hunter to record his 18th victory. [The Sporting News]
