Record: 60-39, 2nd, 1.5 GB Des Moines
Chicago's Jesus Mercano pitched six shutout innings and the G-Men's bullpen did the rest as they whitewashed St. Louis 1-0 to complete a three-game sweep at Wrigley Field (1979).
Mercano (4-2) allowed just two hits while striking out five and walking a pair.
Ethan Hankins got the first out of the seventh before having to exit with a back injury.
Michael Steinberg finished off the seventh for the G-Men.
Jeremy Bouchard kept St. Louis from scoring in the eighth or ninth to earn his first save.
River Walkers rookie starter Xavier Wigfall handled the first two innings, before having to leave with an elbow injury.
He is expected to be out for a week.
The game's lone run came against Wigfall in the bottom of the second.
Matt Kerr led off the inning with a double, and scored on a two-out double by Mercano.
