Jim Colborn pitched a three-hitter and Bobby Mitchell and Ollie Brown smashed homers as the Brewers defeated the Athletics, 5-1. Mitchell's homer in the second inning accounted for three runs, coming after a single by Johnny Briggs and pass to Pedro Garcia. The A's avoided a shutout when Ray Fosse hit for the circuit in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
