Dominant Performance by Castro in Denver Win
Francisco Castro, who is tied for 7th in the NBL in complete games with 8, never let the Explorers get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Burros to a win, 4-1. The Burros have an impressive 46-27 record.

Castro went the distance for Denver. He allowed 1 run on 5 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 0.

"I was determined to go the distance," said Castro.
