Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's career record for runs batted in while collecting four of the Brewers' 17 hits in a 17-3 walloping of the Tigers. A single by Aaron in the third inning scored Sixto Lezcano and raised his RBI total to 2,210, one more than Ruth's mark. Aaron batted in another run with a double in the fifth. Robin Yount also had a big day at the plate with a homer and double, driving in four runs. Darrell Porter hit a homer and triple for three RBIs.
