Grand Junction Absorbs 13-4 Loss to Billings
The Billings Mustangs picked up a win at Dehler Park, knocking off the Grand Junction Rockies, 13-4. Starting pitcher Dan Burke was a big reason why. The Rockies, at 10-43, have lost 4 in a row.

Jesse Auger, who is tied for 9th in the PIO in runs scored with 31, chipped in a grand slam home run for Billings in the bottom of the eighth. For the game, the left fielder had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 4 RBI.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Billings manager John Holdzkom.
