Walkers news: August 31 -- Quad City 8, St. Louis 7

When Tucker Barnhard and Adeiny Hechavarria both hit two-run home runs off Quad City starting pitcher Justus Sheffield in the top of the fourth inning for St. Louis, it appeared with a 7-2 lead they were on the way to a third straight win at Fenway Park.
It didn't work out that way.
The Thunder scored three runs in both the fifth and seventh innings to come away with an 8-7 victory.
Orlando Arcia led off the fifth with a home run off St. Louis starter Manuel Soliman and Robinson Cano later took him deep with a two-run blast to make it 7-5.
Called up to replace an injured Luiz Gohara, Soliman was not expected to make it deep into the game and departed after five innings.
The bullpen could not seal the deal.
Chaz Roe, who made the All-Star team after an outstanding first half, continued to have all kinds of damage in the seventh.
He did record the first two outs, but did allow a double to Robinson Cano before Russell Martin reached on an error by third baseman Nicky Delmonico.
A Hanley Ramirez single scored Cano making it 7-6. Drew Robinson then tied it with a single.
A single to PITCHER Justus Sheffield loaded the bases, and sent Roe to the showers.
Andrew Miller took the mound, after a string of strong outings was not at his best.

A balk while Anthony Alford was at the plate gave Quad City the lead.
Sheffield pitched seven innings, allowing seven runs on 11 hits while throwing 149 pitches, before exiting.

Ryan Buchter handled the final two innings. He allowed a two-out single to Tucker Barnhart in the ninth, but got Jed Gyorko to ground out to end it.
