Hank Aaron hit his ninth homer of the season and 754th of his career in the 10th inning to give the Brewers a 5-4 victory in a sweep of a doubleheader with the Rangers. The Brewers won the first game, 6-3, behind the pitching of Jim Slaton, who gained his 10th victory. However, the Brewers trailed, 3-1, going into the seventh inning when they rallied for five runs. Robin Yount singled and scored on a double by Von Joshua. After Don Money singled, George Scott and Bernie Carbo followed with run-scoring hits before Gorman Thomas capped the outburst with a double for the final pair.

The Brewers also were losing the nightcap, 4-2, going into the ninth inning when they rallied to tie the score before Aaron came through with his game-winning wallop in the overtime frame. [The Sporting News]
