Denver Downs St. Louis, 9-1
Denver beat St. Louis on the strength of starting pitcher John Gannon's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 9-1. Denver has run its win streak to 5 straight.

Denver won the game in part because of Jamie Robinson. The third baseman ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Burros ahead, 4-0. For the game, Robinson had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

Said losing manager Ray Fleetwood: "At the end of the day, we've got to play better."
