Hank Aaron hit his third homer of the season and 736th of his career in the seventh inning to ignite a five-run outburst that propelled the Brewers to a 7-1 victory over the Royals. After Aaron's blast broke a 1-1 tie, Sixto Lezcano doubled, Darrell Porter walked and Bobby Mitchell tripled for two more runs. Then, following a pass to Pedro Garcia, Don Money doubled to add another pair. Gorman Thomas accounted for the Brewers' last run with a homer in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
