Thursday June 12, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Hank Aaron hit a homer, double and single to provide a spark for the Brewers, who ended the Athletics' four-game winning streak, 9-7. Aaron's homer in the fifth inning was his sixth of the season and 739th of his career, but only his first in Milwaukee County Stadium since September 30, 1965, when the superstar was playing with the former Milwaukee Braves.

The Brewers, who also scored on Aaron's double in the second inning, put the game away with four runs in the seventh. Johnny Briggs singled and George Scott homered for the first two tallies in the outburst and the other pair followed on two walks and a double by Gorman Thomas. Gene Tenace and Billy Williams hit homers for the A's. Williams' blow with two men on base in the eighth was the 400th of his career, making him the 16th batter in major league history to achieve that plateau. [The Sporting News]
