Denver Hands Chicago 9-4 Defeat
The 9-4 Denver win over Chicago was due in large part to Carlos Santana. The Bears first baseman hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. The Explorers, now 69-69, have lost 4 in a row.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who is tied for 4th in the FL in triples with 5, helped out the Denver cause in the top of the sixth inning with a run-scoring double. For the game, the third baseman went 1 for 4 with a double and a walk.

"Feels good to get the job done," Encarnacion-Strand said after the game.
