Following the announcement that Frank Robinson would return for a second season as manager in 1976, the Indians defeated the Brewers, 4-3, to bring their record to the .500 mark at 77-77. Boog Powell homered with two men on base in the third inning and George Hendrick won the game with a circuit clout to lead off the ninth. George Scott drove in one of the Brewers' runs with a single in the fourth for his 100th RBI of the season. [The Sporting News]
