John Vukovich, Brewers' rookie third baseman, hit his first major league homer, connecting off Sparky Lyle with two men on base in the seventh inning, to beat the Yankees, 4-3. Jim Ray Hart, the Yankees' designated hitter, scored one of their runs and batted in two. Don Money homered for the Brewers' initial tally in the fourth. Ellie Rodriguez was safe on an error by Gene Michael in the seventh and Ollie Brown singled to set the stage for Vukovich's winning homer. [The Sporting News]
