Led by Hank Aaron, who hit a pair of two-run homers and tied the major league career record for most total bases, the Braves outslugged the Phillies, 10-7, in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, but the Phillies sent Dave Downs to the mound in the second game and the rookie from Reading (Eastern) beat the Braves, 3-0, with the backing of four double plays. Aaron's homers in opener brought his total bases to 6,134, tying Stan Musial's mark.
