Z's Popped by Pilots, 6-2
Denver Pilots starter Matt Dickson pitched well against the Ann Arbor Z's at Pilots Ballpark, leading his team to a win, 6-2. The winning pitcher was Dickson, now 8-6. He tossed 7.1 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 4. Denver goes to 57-75, Ann Arbor to 49-83.

Francisco Garcia had a big 2-run triple for the Pilots in the bottom of the first inning. With Denver leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 22-year old right-handed pitcher Jon Gunter and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 5th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Pilots ahead, 3-0.

"We took home the win," said Dickson. "What's not to like?"
