Wednesday August 14, 1974
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Brewers rallied for two runs off Fergie Jenkins in the eighth inning and defeated the Rangers, 6-5. George Scott led off with a double and scored the tying run on a double by Darrell Porter. Jenkins retired the next two batters, but Tim Johnson batted for John Vukovich and singled to drive in the winning run.

Jim Spencer hit a homer for the Rangers and Cesar Tovar had five straight hits, but they were unproductive, since the Rangers' outfielder neither scored any runs nor batted in any. [The Sporting News]
