The Denver Bears put the giddy home crowd in an even more jubilant mood after beating the Chicago Explorers in the season opener at Coors Field. Left Fielder Nick Gordon won plaudits for Denver. He went 2 for 4 with a triple. He scored 2 times. Ron Marinaccio picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-0. Shota Imanaga was tagged with the loss. A.J. Puk recorded the save, his 1st.

Denver third baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With two down, he hit a fastball to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 2nd hit of the season and put the Bears ahead, 3-0.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Encarnacion-Strand said.
