The Brewers rapped seven doubles, including three by Sixto Lezcano, in a 16-hit attack that produced a 9-2 victory over the Yankees. Lezcano drove in three runs.

The Brewers shattered a 2-2 tie with a six-run outburst in the fifth inning. Cecil Cooper singled and Lezcano and Ben Oglivie followed with consecutive doubles to rout Luis Tiant. Sal Bando greeted Ken Clay with a double and, after a pass to Robin Yount, Jim Wohlford also doubled. Buck Martinez hit a sacrifice fly for the fifth run of the frame and the sixth scored on two wild pitches by Clay. [The Sporting News]
