Walkers news: May 20 -- St. Louis 5, Cleveland 2
Record: 22-21, 3rd, 8.5 GB Des Moines
Tied 2-2, Nick Shaw hit a one-out home run in the bottom of the sixth inning off Cleveland starting pitcher Andy Caruthers to help lift St. Louis to a 3-2 win at Busch Stadium (2006).
The River Walkers actually trailed 2-0 before tying it with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth.
Daniel Becerra drew a lead-off walk from Caruthers.
Becerra scored on a Jovan Gill double.
Another double, this one two batters later from pinch-hitter Nathaniel Dixon, scored Gill to even the score.
St. Louis starting pitcher Zack Hunsicker turned in one of his better starts of what's been a disappointing season -- allowing two runs on four hits over four innings -- before exiting with a back injury.
He is expected to miss a week. It is not known if he'll be placed on the injured list.
Yeison Santos (0.1) and Scott Rissler (0.2) combined to keep the Juke Box Heroes from scoring when they loaded the bases in the fifth.
After that, it was two scoreless innings from Josh Forgy followed by sile frames from Cory Tiller and closer Ernesto Barbosa.
A 1-2-3 ninth earned Barbosa his ninth save.
