Walkers news: August 29 -- St. Louis 3, Ann Arbor 1
Record: 72-61, 2nd, 1.5 GB Springfield
Rookie Lenyn Crisp made his major league debut a memorable one, allowing Ann Arbor one run on two hits over the first six innings, to help St. Louis down the Wolf Pack 3-1 at Busch Stadium (1997).
Outside of a second-inning home run to Aaron Bracho, Crisp (1-0) didn't run into much trouble.
In addition to allowing just the two hits, he struck out six and walked one.
Bracho's homer tied the game at 1-1.
St. Louis took the lead for good in the bottom of the third when Steve Rossi hit a two-run homer off Ann Arbor starter Josh Downer.
Travis Krogman replaced Crisp in the seventh and got through it without allowing a run.
With the St. Louis bullpen still dealing with fatigue issues, closer Ernesto Barbosa pitched two scoreless innings to earn his 27th save.
