Crabtree Excels in 9-1 Denver Win
John Crabtree was a vital contributor to the 9-1 Denver victory over Chicago. The Burros first baseman was 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. John Gannon got the win, improving to 12-1. He worked 7.1 innings, giving up 1 run on 10 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 1. The setback makes Chicago 50-55.

Tom Clark had a big 3-run home run for the Burros in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Denver trailing 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a cutter from former first round draft pick Skip Crawford and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Burros on top, 3-1.

"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Larry Link.
