The crowd of 40,383 at "Salute to Hank Aaron Night" suffered two disappointments when Aaron not only went hitless in five trips, but the Brewers also lost to the Yankees, 5-3, in 11 innings. George Scott drove in the Brewers' runs, hitting a homer in the first inning and accounting for two RBIs with a single in the sixth.
