Sunday August 31, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Homers by Robin Yount and Darrell Porter, each with a man on base, carried the Brewers to a 4-1 victory over the Rangers behind the three-hit pitching of Pete Broberg. Loser Gaylord Perry gave up four hits, but was condemned to defeat by his gopher pitches.

Yount homered after a pass to Mike Hegan in the second inning. George Scott was on base after a forceout when Porter connected for the circuit in the sixth. Perry struck out 11, boosting his career total to 2,489 for 10th place ahead of Don Drysdale on the major leagues' all-time list. [The Sporting News]
