A wild pitch by Jim Todd in the sixth inning allowed the Brewers to score what proved to be the decisive run in a 5-4 victory over the Athletics. Hank Aaron doubled in the first for the 3,631st hit of his career, moving him into second place on the major leagues' all-time list ahead of Stan Musial.

Before Aaron batted, George Scott homered for the Brewers, but the A's went on to take a 4-1 lead, counting their final run on a round-tripper by Reggie Jackson in the fourth. The Brewers rallied to tie the score in the fifth on a triple by Sixto Lezcano, a walk, double by Pedro Garcia and single by Bill Sharp. In the sixth, with Todd pitching in relief for the A's, Johnny Briggs singled and Darrell Porter bounced to Todd, who threw late to second in an attempted forceout. After a groundout, Briggs scored on Todd's wild pitch. [The Sporting News]
