A triple and homer by George Scott were the Brewers' big blows in a 4-2 victory over the Yankees. After Rick Auerbach was safe on an error in the first inning, Scott drove him in with a triple and scored himself on a single by Ollie Brown. Scott socked his homer in the sixth. Auerbach batted in an extra run in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
