Los Angeles Downed, 8-2, by Burros
Los Angeles wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Billy Duprey, falling to the Denver Burros, 8-2. Duprey threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball for the losing team. Juan Ramirez, the winning pitcher, is now 14-5. He went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits, while fanning 5 and walking 3. The Burros lead the National Baseball League Western Division by 11½ games.

Denver relied on the hitting of Ron Roe to pick up the win. The right fielder ripped a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Burros on top, 4-2. For the game, Roe had 1 triple and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Roe attributed the win to "a well-rounded effort by the whole team."
