Hank Aaron belted his first American League homer -- and 734th of his career -- and drove in two runs while Darrell Porter and Johnny Briggs each also hit solo blasts to lead the Brewers to a 5-1 triumph over the Indians. Aaron's homer came in the sixth inning off Gaylord Perry. The famed slugger had gone hitless in 12 at-bats before finding the range. Aaron later singled home the Brewers' fourth run of the game in the eighth.
