Record: 67-41, 1st, 5.5 GA Cedar Rapids
Nathaniel Dixon led off the bottom of the ninth inning with a home run off Dayton relief pitcher Nate Guthrie, giving St. Louis a 4-3 win at Busch Stadium (2006).
Dixon's sixth home run of the season came on a 1-1 pitch, it traveled 375 feet over the right-field wall.
Making his first start in the majors since July 14, 2034, when he suffered an elbow injury and had to undergo Tommy John surgery, Xavier Wigfall turned in a strong outing.
The 26-year-old right-hander shutout the Pilots over the first five innings, before allowing a lead-off homer to Doug Brinton to open the sixth.
Wigfall exited the game having allowed the one run on four hits. He struck out three and walked two.
The River Walkers lead trimmed to 3-1, Nick Ruffalo took over and promptly allowed another homer, this one to Bobby Carrasco, making it 3-2.
By the time the half-inning was over, it was tied 3-3 as Matt Freudenberg followed the Carrasco homer with a triple.
Freudenberg scored when Ruffalo allowed a single to Robert Hassell.
Ruffalo did finally strike out Dan Huff for the first out.
Nick Strother then took over and got Justin Johnson to hit into a double play, keeping the score 3-3.
It stayed that way until Dixon won it in the ninth.
Much earlier, the Walkers jumped in front on a solo homer from Manuel Coke off Dayton starting pitcher Rob Reed in the bottom of the first.
An inning later, Chris Duncan made it 2-0 with an RBI double off Reed.
Hector Tavarez, who had scored St. Louis' second run, also scored their third in the fourth.
Like his first run, he drew a walk from Reed and stole second base.
Dixon then drove him in with a double.
After getting the Walkers out of their eighth-inning jam, Strother pitched a scoreless seventh.
Oscar Martinez (2-1) held the Pilots scoreless in the eighth and ninth, and earning himself a win.
