Traders Spill Bulls, 9-1
Chicago Traders starter Randy Birch pitched a strong game against the Kansas City Bulls at Independence Field, leading the Traders to victory, 9-1. Birch yielded 1 run over 8.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 5. His record improves to 4-0. The Bulls fall to 9-11 and continue their lackluster start to the 1975 season.

The Traders benefited from a costly error in the top of the fifth. With Rafael Fuentes at bat and Chicago leading 2-0, the Kansas City miscue allowed Chicago to plate 1 and take the lead, 3-0.

"We'll need a much better effort, the next time out," said losing manager DD Martin.
