Record: 65-61, 3rd (Tied/w. Springfield), 4.5 GB Cedar Rapids
Down 4-3, St. Louis scored four times in the top of the seventh inning to pave the way for a 6-4 win over Kansas City at Municipal Stadium (1969).
With the win, St. Louis took three of four games in the series. The River Walkers sit in fourth place in the National League South Division, 4.5 games in back of first-place Cedar Rapids.
Carlos Asuaje got things started for the Walkers in the seventh with a lead-off single off reliever Michael Pineda.
Pineda was quickly replaced, only to see the first batter he faced, Michael Conforto, crank a two-run homer to put St. Louis ahead 5-4.
The Walkers were not finished.

After a couple of strikeouts, Nicky Delmonico hit a solo homer, pushing the lead to 6-4.
St. Louis starting pitcher Danny Duffy was not at the top of his game, but he pitched well enough to earn his 12th win.
He lasted six innings, giving up four runs on five hits.
John Curtiss, Phil Maton and Tommy Kahnle all took care of an inning apiece to seal the win.
Kahnle notched his 22nd save.
