Des Moines pushed across four runs in the top of the sixth inning to defeat St. Louis 5-4 at Busch Stadium.
River Walkers starting pitcher Luiz Gohara went into the inning with a 4-1 lead, but immediately got into trouble.
He hit A.J. Pollack with pitch to open the inning and followed it with a walk of Rafael Devers. An RBI double by Cody Bellinger then ended Gohara's outing.
With the lead down to 4-2, Chaz Roe didn't do any better.

He hit the first batter he faced, Giancarlo Stanton, with a pitch. Austin Hays followed with a double that tied it.

Jorge Alfaro followed with a single to load the bases, and end Roe's outing.
Phil Maton got Thiaro Estrado to hit into a fielder's choice, with Stanton being retired at the plate.
However, third baseman Nicky Delmonico could not handle Delino DeShields Jr.'s ground ball, as his error allowed Hays to score what proved to be the game-winning run.
The Walkers had taken their 4-1 lead with a three-run fourth. Michael Conforto's two-run double off Des Moines starter Mike Clevinger was the big blow.
Clevinger left after allowing four runs in four innings.
Six relievers combined to shut out the Walkers the rest of the way, with Drew Pomeranz, one scoreless inning, earning the win and Jandel Gustave earning his 20th save.
