Walkers news: April 28 -- St. Louis 7, Dayton 1

Record: 12-11, 4th, 4.5 GB Cedar Rapids
Shane Drogo took a perfect game into the top of the seventh inning and St. Louis rode a trio of home runs to a 7-1 win over Dayton at Busch Stadium (2006).
Drogo (2-3) didn't allow a base runner until Mike Wardlaw doubled with one out in the top of the seventh.
The next batter, Bobby Carrasco, broke up the shutout with a single to make it 5-1.
Three batters later, a walk to Dan Underwood loaded the bases and ended Drago's outing.
Gil Meier came on and got Efrain Jimenez to fly out and keep the River Walkers ahead by four.
In 6.1 innings, Drogo allowed one run on two hits. He struck out eight and walked one.
Greg Sones made his major-league debut in the eighth for St. Louis, allowing only a single but no runs.
Zachary Stella set the Pilots down in order in the ninth.
A two-run homer from Chris Duncan in the bottom of the fourth off Dayton starting pitcher Mike Evanson put the Walkers ahead 2-0.
Two innings later, Jose Ramirez hit a three-run bomb off Carlos Calderon upping the advantage to 5-0.
St. Louis added single runs in the seventh -- Eric Peretz led off with a triple off Billy Lavala and scored on a Jose Segura double -- and eighth -- a pinch-hit homer from Nathaniel Dixon -- to wrap up the scoring.
