The Indians defeated Denver 13 to 6 as Brierley hit two home runs and Simmons pitched well. Denver’s players struggled with poor defense and weak hitting, making the game slow and one sided before it was called after the seventh inning. The Indians' next likely opponent is the Zangs on Sunday and Labor Day.
