Record: 16-11, 2nd, 1 GB Cedar Rapids
Milwaukee beat up St. Louis starting pitcher Jim Martin for six runs in less than four innings, and the Crushers went on to defeat the River Walkers 6-4 at Busch Stadium (2006).
The big inning was a four-run top of the third.
The Crushers banged out four hits in the inning, getting a run-scoring single from Rogelio Mercado and an RBI-double from Pete Crow-Armstrong.
Jose Flores followed Crow-Armstrong with a two-run double.
Milwaukee also got single runs in the first, thanks to a Jarrod Twomey homer, and fourth, a run-scoring single from Levi Usher which chased Martin from the game and made it 6-0.
The Walkers did make it close, the bulk of the damage coming in a three-run ninth.
Jackson Miller drove in two runs with a double off reliever Ed Sutherland to make it 6-4 with nobody out.
Brett McVey took over with Miller on second.
He struck out Nathaniel Dixon and got Daniel Becerra to ground out.
A walk to Jose Ramirez put runners on the corners.
But McVey induced clean-up hitter Nick Shaw to fly out to end it.
It earned McVey his ninth save.
Crushers starting pitcher Jesse Mucci went five innings, allowing one run on five hits. He struck out eight and walked two.
Milwaukee would use five relievers, beginning with Tony Lujano who pitched the sixth.
After that, it was Glenn Dunn (1.2 IP), Chad Bigelow (0.1), Sutherland (0.1) and McVey (1.0).
