Record: 89-69, 1st, 1.5 GA Springfield and Kansas City
Down 1-0, St. Louis scored three times in the bottom of the eighth inning, and went on to defeat Des Moines 3-1 at Busch Stadium (1997).
The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for the River Walkers. Their magic number to clinch the National League South Division is three.
A Fernando Tatis Jr. home run off St. Louis starting pitcher Lenyn Crisp in the top of the second inning staked the Harvesters to a 1-0 lead.
The score stayed that way until the bottom of the eighth, when the Walkers finally came alive to end an 18-inning scoreless streak.
Des Moines starter Eric LaFollette had been dominant for seven shutout innings, allowing just four hits while striking out four and walking two.
His replacement, Jeremy Bouchard, however, could not find the plate.
He walked the first two batters he faced -- pinch-hitter Jared Thomas and Jose Ramirez -- and then threw a wild pitch to move them to second and third before walking Thairo Estrada to load the bases.
Jose Segura made the Harvesters pay with a single to tie it 1-1.
Jonathan Cooper replaced Bouchard, only to be give up a single to Steve Rossi which put the Walkers in front 2-1.
Cooper struck out the next two.
But he followed that by hitting Peter Ahn with a pitch, as St. Louis went up 3-1.
Walkers rookie starting pitcher Lenyn Crisp was good, allowing one run on four hits over five innings.
Yeison Santos got the first out of the sixth before giving way to Travis Krogman.
Krogman finished the sixth and worked a scoreless seventh.
Ron Peterson (0.2 IP) and Zach Evers (0.1) combined to keep the Harvesters off the board in the eighth.
Ernesto Barbosa was spotless in the ninth, earning his 31st save.
