Walkers news: August 5 -- Des Moines 3, St. Louis 2

Record: 56-57, 3rd, 7.5 GB Des Moines
Down 2-1, Des Moines scored twice in the top of the ninth inning off St. Louis closer Edwin Diaz to rally for a 3-2 win at Busch Stadium (1997).
Andrew Foley led off the ninth with a single off Diaz, who then retired the next two batters but could not finish the job.
Carlos David Rodriguez singled to score Kelly and moved to second on the throw to the plate.

Pinch-hitter Jackson Miller quickly broke the tie with a single to score Rodriguez.

The blown save was the seventh of the season for Diaz (3-3).
Harvesters starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel worked six innings, allowing two runs on six hits.

Quinn Priester handled the seventh and eighth innings without issue, and would earn the win.
Yonny Chirnos set the side down in order in the ninth for his first save.
