Record: 12-2, 1st, 1.5 GA Springfield
Trailing 5-4, St. Louis used a pair of home runs -- a grand slam by Jackson Miller and a three-run homer by Eddie Estrella -- to put up seven runs in the bottom of the sixth inning on its way to an 11-6 win over Des Moines at Busch Stadium (2006).
The Harvesters roughed up River Walkers starting pitcher Jesse McNaboe to the turn of five runs over the first 5.1 innings.
A David Tapley two-run homer off McNaboe in the top of the fifth had given Des Moines a 5-3 lead.
St. Louis sliced that advantage to a run in the bottom of the fifth.
Estrella with a two-out RBI single off Harvesters starter Josh Crespo.
That set the stage for St. Louis' big outburst in the bottom of the sixth.
Tafoya took the mound to start the inning.
He wasn't good.
Bill Pena drew a walk to start the inning and moved to second when Jordan Quinto reached on a bunt single.
Bob Saavedra followed with the third single of the inning.
Miller then supplied his second long ball of the season -- a 391 blast to left field to make it 8-5.
Trevor Wortham replaced Crespo. He actually got an out getting Marcos Francis to fly out for the inning's first out.
But Nick Shaw followed with a walk and Jose Segura was hit by a pitch.
This brought Estrella to the plate, and he deposited an 0-1 pitch from Wortham 465 feet over the wall in left-center for his first homer of the season.
McNaboe managed to get through 5.1 innings, allowing five runs on eight hits.
Armando Cintron finished the sixth inning for St. Louis.
Maximilliano allowed a run while working the seventh for the Walkers.
Brett McVey handled the eighth and got the first out of the ninth before tiring.
Scott Rissler ended it by recording the final two outs.
