Milwaukee pummeled St. Louis starting pitcher Ronald Crossingham for six runs in the first four innings, and the Crushers rode that to a 9-5 win at Miller Park.
The victory gave the Crushers wins in the final two games of their three-game series with the River Walkers.
Erik Rivera scored the first run of the game for Milwaukee, leading off the bottom of the first with a single off Crossingham.
A bunt moved Rivera to second.
He scored on a two-out single by Pete Crow-Armstrong.
The Crushers busted the game open by scoring three times in both the third and fourth innings.
Nicolas Thibault hit a two-run homer off Crossingham in the third.
Drew Mendoza and Cayden Wallace followed the homer with back-to-back doubles to make it 4-0.
In the fourth, Rivera hit the first of his two homers in the game, this one a two-run blast off Crossingham.
Thibault later doubled off Oscar Martinez and scored on a single by Crow-Armstrong, which was misplayed by right fielder Nathaniel Dixon.
A three-run top of the fifth, highlighted by a two-run single by Wes Cohen off Crushers starter George McCardel, did pull St. Louis to within 7-3.
But Milwaukee got back-to-back homers from Rivera and Rogelio Mercado off Nick Ruffalo to open the bottom of the sixth to push the lead back to 9-3.
McCardel didn't pitch long enough to earn the win, allowing three runs on five hits in 4.2 innings.
The victory went to Ed Sutherland (2-0), who finished the fifth and worked the sixth.
Jeff Munn gave up a run while working the seventh.
Scott Mueller kept the Walkers silent in the eighth and ninth to close out the game.
