Blasting six home runs, the Brewers overpowered the Indians to sweep a doubleheader, 12-7 and 9-4. In the first game, Dick Davis belted the first grand slam of his major league career to lift the Brewers from a 4-2 deficit to a 6-4 lead in the sixth inning. Gorman Thomas capped a six-run outburst in the seventh with a three-run smash.

In the nightcap, Sixto Lezcano clouted a three-run homer in the first inning. Sal Bando contributed a solo swat in the seventh and Paul Molitor accounted for the Brewers' final two markers with a drive in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
