Second baseman Bob Sheldon, playing in his second game since being recalled from Sacramento, slapped a two-out, two-run single in the sixth to send the Brewers to a 4-3 victory over the Royals. Sheldon stroked his decisive hit after the Brewers had loaded the bases. George Scott opened the inning with a single and moved to third on Hank Aaron's single, but was caught in a rundown trying to score on Bobby Darwin's grounder. Charlie Moore drew a walk to load the sacks and set the stage for Sheldon's game-winning blow.

A walk to Scott and triple by Darwin plated the Brewers' first run in the fourth and they added another in the fifth on Moore's double and Sheldon's RBI single. The Royals got all their runs in the fourth, Cookie Rojas' single driving in two and Fred Patek's sacrifice bunt the other. [The Sporting News]
