Hank Aaron tied Babe Ruth's career record for runs batted in as the Brewers won the first game of a doubleheader, 7-0, but Catfish Hunter then grabbed the spotlight by posting his first victory for the Yankees in a 10-1 breeze. Aaron drove in two runs with a bases-loaded double in the seventh inning to bring his RBI total to 2,209, matching Ruth's mark. The Brewers counted their first two runs of the game in the sixth on a pass to Aaron, single by Darrell Porter and double by Mike Hegan. In the seventh, Bob Coluccio led off with a homer. After one out, Robin Yount doubled, Sixto Lezcano walked and George Scott beat out an infield hit to set the stage for Aaron's double. A wild pitch and sacrifice fly added another run before the inning ended. Pete Broberg limited the Yankees to three hits.

In the nightcap, Hunter, a loser of three previous decisions, held the Brewers hitless for 7 2/3 innings before settling for a three-hitter. Yount homered for the Brewers' run in the ninth. The Yankees sent their multi-millionaire pitcher on the way to victory by scoring four runs in the first. Chris Chambliss knocked in a pair with a single and Ed Herrmann accounted for two more with a double. Herrmann homered in the fourth and, after two men reached base, Elliott Maddox also hit for the circuit to add four more runs to the Yankees' total. [The Sporting News]
