. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Royals brought their record to nine victories in their last 10 games by sweeping over Brewers in a doubleheader, 13-6 and 11-5. In the first game, the Royals broke a 6-6 tie by scoring five runs in the fifth inning. John Mayberry walked and reached third when George Scott threw wild on a bunt by George Brett. With one out, Frank White laid down a squeeze bunt and Mayberry beat the throw home on a fielder's choice. Fred Patek walked to load the bases. Amos Otis also drew a pass, forcing in Brett. White crossed the plate on an infield out by Vada Pinson. Harmon Killebrew then capped the inning with a double, driving in Patek and Otis.

In the second game, Tony Solaita and Brett each hit a homer with a man on base for the Royals before Mayberry swung into action with a three-run homer in the fourth inning and two-run double in the sixth. Pedro Garcia homered with two aboard for the Brewers. Hank Aaron finished the doubleheader with four hits to bring his career total to 3,630, tying Stan Musial for second place on the major league's all-time list. [The Sporting News]
