Denver Falls Again, 5-3
San Diego pitcher Ray Heath had a large part in his team beating the Denver Burros, 5-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. The last-place Burros have dropped 6 straight games.

San Diego took a 5-3 lead on Earl Peters's 11th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Peters hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Denver pitcher Doug Keene visibly frustrated.

"I warned the team before the game," losing manager Clark Anderson told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win."
