Daniel Becerra staked St. Louis to a 3-0 lead with a home run of Des Moines starting pitcher Marshall Lacombe, and the River Walkers never trailed on their way to a 6-5 win at Green Canyon Park.
The Harvesters pulled to within 3-1 when Fernando Tatis Jr. led off the bottomof the second with a single off St. Louis starting pitcher Jesse McNaboe, and eventually scored on a Raul Estrada ground out.

A two-run homer from rookie Dan Hillard off Lacombe in the fifth put St. Louis in front 5-1.
Des Moines sliced that to 5-3 with two runs in the bottom of the sixth.
Becerra scored his second run of the game in the top of the seventh after drawing a lead-off walk from reliever Nick Spear.
A single by pinch-hitter Nathaniel Dixon moved Becerra to third.
