Rookie Jerry Tate continued his run of strong starts allowing one run over seven innings, and St. Louis completed a three-game sweep of Springfield with a 2-1 win at Oracle Park (2020).
Tate (5-1) allowed one run on two hits over six innings. He struck out four and walked two.
Josh Grissom tossed two innings of scoreless relief.
Ernesto Barbosa hopefully got back into track with a silent ninth for his 15th save.
The Railers actually jumped in front in the bottom of the second when Dylan Crews hit a two-out solo homer off Tate.
The Walkers didn't score, or take the lead, until the seventh.
Jared Thomas got things moving with a one-out single off Railers starter Ewdy Alex.
Nick Shaw followed with a double, moving Thomas to third, and ending Alex's time on the mound,
Martino Banditelli took over, and proceeded to walk Thairo Estrada to load the bases before striking out pinch-hitter Nathaniel Dixon for the inning's second out.
However, he followed that with a walk to Daniel Becerra to tie the game.
Jose Segura followed with a single to put the Walkers in front 2-1.
