No one was more impactful than Dave Bieler in the 9-2 St. Louis win over Kansas City. Bieler went 2 for 3 with a double and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The 5th-place Explorers have won 6 straight.

Ken Osterhage, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1967 draft, chipped in a run-scoring single for St. Louis in the bottom of the first. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"I like our mindset right now," said St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood.
