Playing before 56,238, the largest crowd in the A. L. this season, the Yankees swept to 5-3 and 5-4 victories in a Bat Day doubleheader with the Brewers. The Yanks decided the first game early, scoring four runs in the second inning. Bobby Murcer and Celerino Sanchez singled. John Ellis walked to load the bases, Gene Michael cleared the sacks with a triple and then scored on a squeeze bunt by Mel Stottlemyre. Sparky Lyle, making his seventh appearance in eight days, relieved Sottlemyre in the eighth, put down a Brewer threat and recorded his 28th save.
