RBI singles from Eirman and Rowdy Tellez off St.Louis starter Aaron Nola in the fifth evened the game.
A run-scoring double from J.T. Realmuto off reliever David Amador put the Walkers back in front in the eighth.

Five relievers took the ball for the Pilots -- Matt Sarullo (0.1 IP), Xavier Cedeno (0.2)., David Amador (1.0),Akeel Morris (1.0) and Drew Smith (1.0) -- to close out the game for Dayton.
Smith earned his third win of the season.
