A two-run homer by Bill Voss in the sixth inning and two-run single by Andy Kosco in the seventh accounted for the Brewers' scoring in a 4-3 victory over the Senators. The Brewers called on four pinch-hitters and one pinch-runner in the seventh and the Senators used five pitchers. A walk to Floyd Wicker and single by Ted Savage led to the removal of Denny McLain with one out. Horacio Pina retired Tommy Harper on a grounder as the runners advanced. Joe Grzenda walked Roberto Pena intentionally. Kosco hit his single off Jerry Janeski, scoring pinch-runner Ron Theobald and Savage. Denny Riddleberger then got the last out as the Nats' fifth pitcher. [The Sporting News] |
