Explorers Stymie Denver, Take 4-1 Win
St. Louis pitcher Bob Trout had a large part in his team beating the Denver Burros, 4-1. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Trout, the winner, moves to 15-7. He threw 6.2 innings of 1-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 4 walks. With the win, St. Louis pushed its record to 76-68.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for John Darnell? The St. Louis third baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Explorers on top, 2-0. For the game, Darnell had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Winning never gets dull," said Darnell.
