Piling up eight runs in the first two innings, the Athletics trounced the Brewers, 11-3, to bring Ken Holtzman his first victory since May 17. The A's started with five runs in the opening frame on a pass to Bill North, singles by Bert Campaneris, Reggie Jackson and Billy Williams, a wild pitch, error and single by Sal Bando.

In the second, North was hit by a pitch, Carnpaneris, Joe Rudi and Williams stroked singles and Claudell Washington lofted a sacrifice fly to add three more runs. Williams drove in another run with a double and Gene Tenace followed with a homer when the A's wrapped up their scoring in the sixth inning. [The Sporting News]
