Denver Beats Chicago, 7-4
The 7-4 Denver win over Chicago was due largely to Bobby Raley. The Burros shortstop was 3-3 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2 times. Rick Morton picked up the save for Denver, his 6th of the year. The Burros, now 17-6, have been on fire in the early going.

The Burros got a big at-bat from first baseman John Crabtree. For the game, Crabtree was 1-3 with a double and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the first, with the bases loaded, he stroked a 2-run double. His 3rd double of the season gave Denver a 2-0 lead.

"That's what I love about baseball," said Raley. "No matter how good or how bad you did, you get to wake up the next day and start all over."
