Bobby Mitchell, who replaced Hank Aaron as the Brewers' designated hitter, slammed two doubles and scored two runs in an 8-5 victory over the Orioles. Aaron asked manager del Crandall for a couple days' rest after batting only .114 in his first 11 games.

The Brewers, after trailing, 4-0, erupted for four runs in a sixth-inning rally that included doubles by Don Money and Mitchell and a two-run single by George Scott. After each club tallied in the seventh, Mitchell opened the eighth with his second double and scored the tie-breaking run on a two-bagger by Sixto Lezcano. [The Sporting News]
