Braves Take Command In NL Race Behind Aaron’s Big Spurt
Hank Aaron sparked a 10-6 win over the Dodgers as he shook off a late-season slump with a four for five day including a homer and five RBIs.

Aaron’s sizzle followed a prior All-Star endorsement vote by players and coaches amid a 72 hour tear that boosted his average to .282 and his RBI total to 14.
