Record: 48-37, 2nd, 6 GB Des Moines
Facing a stretch of five games in four days and dealing with a decimated bullpen, St. Louis got a huge outing from ace Aaron Nola who tossed a 2-0 shutout against Springfield at Busch Stadium (1997).
Nola allowed just three hits -- two singles and a double -- while striking out six and walking none in the opening game of a doubleheader.
The 27-year-old right-hander needed just 104 pitches to complete his gem.

The River Walkers got the only run they would need in the bottom of the first inning when Ender Inciarte led off with a triple and scored on a Michael Conforto single.
Rhys Hoskins made it 2-0 in the third inning when he led off with his 26th home run of the season off Prairie Fighters starting pitcher Josh Hader.
