Peoria Chiefs News Release
Burlington, IA - The Peoria Chiefs welcomed Bryce Denton back from the injured list and the veteran outfielder delivered a RBI in the sixth inning but the visitors lost in Burlington 9-2 Saturday night.

Figuera moved to third with Perez out at second on a fielder choice off the bat of Brady Whalen with one out. Brendan Donovan walked to load the bases and Burlington changed pitchers. Bryce Denton was hit by a pitch to bring home Figuera and keep the bases full. Brandon Riley worked a full count and drew a run-scoring walk for his 20th RBI of the season as the Chiefs cut the Burlington lead to 5-2 before the inning ended.
