Record: 59-56, 4th, 2.5 GB Cedar Rapids
Andrew Benintendi homered and scored three runs while starting pitcher Wade Miley worked into the seventh inning as St. Louis won 6-3 over Akron at Candlestick Park (1993).
Benintendi's homer came with two outs in the top of the first inning, a solo shot off Flying Feet starting pitcher David Paulino.
The River Walkers added another single run in the second inning, Ender Inciarte collecting an RBI when he drew a bases-loaded walk from Paulino.
St. Louis broke it open in the third, as Paulino walked the bases loaded to start the frame.

A fielder's choice hit by Andrelton Simmons scored the first run. Nicky Delmonico plated the second with a double. A successful squeeze bunt by Miley made it 5-0.

On the mound, Miley allowed three runs on six hits over 6.1 innings. He struck out four and walked one.

Four relievers -- Phil Maton (0.1 IP), Bobby Poyner (1.0), Reyes Moronta (0.1) and Tommy Kahnle (1.0) -- combined to finish the game off the St. Louis.
Kahnle set the Feet down in order in the ninth for his 19th save.
