Marking two more milestones in his career, Hank Aaron hit his 699th homer and 19th grand slam as the Braves trounced the Phillies, 15-3. With his homer, Aaron moved into sole possession of second place on the all-time list, breaking a tie with Willie Mays.

The Braves' superstar also tied Gil Hodges' N. L. record for most grand slams with his smash in the sixth inning. Marty Perez drew a walk and Tom Kelley was safe on a bunt when Wayne Twitchell threw wildly. With two out, Ralph Garr drew a pass to load the bases for Aaron's appearance. [The Sporting News]
