The A's stretched their winning streak to four games and boosted their A. L. West lead to 8½ games with a doubleheader sweep over the Brewers, 6-3 and 9-3. The losses extended the Brewer defeat string to eight in a row and 19 of 23. The A's took the opener with a three-run surge in the seventh on run-producing singles by Bill North, Sal Bando and Gene Tenace. Rollie Fingers logged his 17th save.

The hero of the nightcap was Billy Williams, with four hits including two home runs, one an inside-park blast. Tenace also homered in the second game, with Stan Bahnsen recording his ninth win. [The Sporting News]
