Bulls Hand Denver 9-1 Loss
Kansas City starter Dick Scorza ran into little resistance from Denver hitters, as his team cruised to victory, 9-1. The win elevated the Bulls to 48-40.

The Burros had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Bulls going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old shortstop Mario Alva came to the plate. Alva hit a 2-run home run on a 1-2 cutter from Denver hurler Paul Massey. It was Alva's 6th home run of the year.

"I pretty much put my pitches where I wanted to," said Scorza.
