Johnny Callison, who drove in a total of six runs, hit a grand-slam homer in the seventh inning to power the Yankees past the Brewers, 10-6. The Yankees had a lead of only 4-3 going into the seventh and loaded the bases on a walk to Horace Clarke, single by Thurman Munson and pass to Bobby Murcer.

Clarke scored on a wild pitch by Ken Sanders, who had relieved Earl Stephenson. After Roy White flied out, Ron Blomberg drew a walk to fill the sacks once again and Callison followed with his grand slam. Murcer added a run with a homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
