Appearing as a pinch-hitter, Bobby Murcer delivered the first grand slam of his major league career to help the Yankees defeat the Brewers, 11-9, in the sweep of a doubleheader. The Yankees won the first game, 6-2, with four runs in the 11th inning on singles by Roy White, Ron Blomberg, Felipe Alou, Horace Clarke and Gene Michael, an error and a sacrifice fly by Jerry Kenney.

Murcer batted for Jim Hardin and hit his homer in the second inning of the nightcap to send the Yankees out in front, 6-3, The Yankees went on to build up a 10-3 lead before the Brewers almost overtook them with a six-run rally in the seventh, including a homer by Ted Kubiak with two men on base.
