Homers by Orlando Cepeda and Hank Aaron powered the Braves to a 4-1 victory to complete the sweep of a three-game series with the Dodgers. Aaron hit the 543rd double of his career in the fourth inning before Cepeda connected for the circuit. Then, in the eighth, Aaron smashed his 603rd homer. Maury Wills accounted for the Dodgers' run with his first homer since 1969. [The Sporting News]
