Kansas City Dealt 8-2 Defeat
The St. Louis Explorers picked up a win at Independence Field, dropping the Kansas City Bulls, 8-2. Harlan Estes, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1965 draft, was the difference-maker. Estes, the winner, moves to 1-0. He threw 8 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 1 walk. The win puts St. Louis at 2-0.

Bob Raab was 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for St. Louis. The four-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the fifth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Tim McDonald. It was his 4th RBI of the season.

"It was a tough day, no getting around it," said losing manager DD Martin.
