. . . where the 1970s live forever!

After exploding for six runs in the fourth inning, the Athletics failed to hold the lead and lost to the Brewers, 8-6, for their fifth defeat in the last six games. In the fourth, the first seven straight batters reached base on six singles and a walk as the A's went ahead, 6-2. The Brewers rallied to tie the score in the eighth and added their winning margin in the ninth on a single by Rick Auerbach, a wild pitch and singles by Johnny Briggs and Jose Cardenal.
