Walkers news: July 22 -- St. Louis 8, Milwaukee 5

Record: 57-39, 2nd, 2 GB Des Moines
St. Louis scored four runs in the top of the ninth inning off Milwaukee closer Blake Treinen to help carry the River Walkers to an 8-5 win at Milwaukee County Stadium (1976).
With the win, St. Louis took the final two games of its three-game series against the Keg Lifters.
Down 5-4, Treinen struck out Adeiny Hechavarria to open the inning, but pinch-hitter Eduardo Nunez and Andrew Tholes followed with back-to-back singles.
Consecutive walks to Jin-hwan Chung and Andrew Benintendi then plated the inning's first run, tying it at 5.
Rhys Hoskins followed with a two-run single, and the Walkers led 7-5.
Michael Conforto drove in the inning's final run with a single.
St. Louis actually trailed 5-0 in this game, as Walkers starter Trevor Bauer had his issues.
Jose Siri and pitcher Yeo-san Park had run-scoring singles for the Lifters in the second inning.
Brett Cumberland drove in a run with a single in the third. Two scored on a Siri single, as all of a sudden it was 5-0.
Bauer, however, gathered himself to pitch six innings allowing the five runs on eight hits.
St. Louis began its comeback in the fifth when Hechavarria singled off Park. He stole second and scored on a Tholes single.
A two-run homer from Hoskins off Arquimedes Caminero in the fifth pulled the Walkers to within 5-3.

Hoskins hit his second homer of the game in the eighth, this one a solo shot off Trevor Gott, to make it 5-4.
After Bauer departed, three relievers -- Bobby Poyner, Reyes Moronta and Daniel Hudson -- all recorded three outs apiece to finish it out.
Moronta earned his third win of the season. Hudson collected his 10th save.
