Walkers news: October 4 -- Madison 4, St. Louis 2
Record: 96-55, 1st, 11 GA Springfield and Cedar Rapids
Madison rookie Mario Martinez shut out St. Louis over the first six innings, and the Muskies won 4-2 at Busch Stadium (1997).
Martinez (2-0) , making just his second start in the majors, allowed just two hits, although he did walk four while striking out two.
Madison broke in front in the top of the third when Chris Duncan led off with a single off River Walkers starter Jesse McNaboe.
Duncan ended up on third when McNaboe misplayed a bunt by Martinez, making a two-base throwing error.
Duncan scored on a Wyatt Olson ground out.
Aramondo Trevino and Yan C. Dixon hit consecutive one-out homers off McNaboe in the sixth to make it 3-0.
Joseph King worked a pair of innings in relief for the Muskies, giving up a run in the eighth on a bases-loaded walk to Rick Scott.
Daniel Becerra hit his 20th homer of the season in the ninth off Madison closer Bobby Westerman, but he was still able to close out his 25th save.
