Jeff Newman hit a homer, single and sacrifice fly, driving in four runs, and Dave Revering rapped four hits including a pair of doubles, for three RBIs to lead the A's attack in a 12-4 victory over the Brewers. John Henry Johnson, a winner for the first time after losing six decisions, gave up six hits including homers by Dick Davis, Paul Molitor and Jim Wohlford, before Dave Heaverlo relieved for the last two innings.
