Record: 68-62, 3rd, 3.5 GB Cedar Rapids
J.T. Realmuto had drove in the game's only run with a seventh-inning double and four relievers combined to complete a shutout after starter Wade Miley left in the third inning as St. Louis defeated Cedar Rapids 1-0 at Shibe Park (1949).
With the win, the River Walkers took the final two games of the three-game series against the first-place Golden Grapplers.
With the win, St. Louis remains in third place in the National League South Division, 3.5 games in back of Cedar Rapids.

In the middle game, Realmuto had scored the game-winning run in the top of the ninth after leading off with a single scoring on a Michael Conforto single as the Walkers won 4-3.
This one was scoreless until the seventh when Andrew Benintendi reached on an error by first baseman Dominic Smith while leading off the inning.
Realmuto then connected for a two-out double off David Cullison for what turned out to be the only run of the contest.
St. Louis starting pitcher Wade Miley left the game in the third inning with back tightness.
Phil Maton got the final out of the third and handled a scoreless fourth inning.
John Curtiss and Grant Dayton both worked two inning apiece.
Closer Tommy Kahnle allowed Cedar Rapids' first two batters to reach in the ninth and eventually issued an intentional/unintentional walk to Justin Bour to load the bases with two outs.
But Nick Williams hit into a fielder's choice to end it, giving Kahnle his 24th save.
Grapplers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer was impressive against his former team. He lasted 6.1 innings, allowing just the one run (it was unearned) on five hits. He struck out eight and walked none.
