Walkers news: Sept. 16 -- St. Louis 3, Rockford 0
Record: 62-85, 7th, 18 GB Springfield
Jesse McNaboe tossed 5.2 shutout innings before having to leave with an undisclosed injury, and three St. Louis relievers combined to complete the shutout as the River Walkers downed Rockford 3-0 at Busch Stadium (2006).
McNaboe (13-9) allowed just three hits in his 5.2 innings. He struck out four and walked one.
John Good completed the sixth inning, and worked a perfect seventh.
The eighth belonged to Kevin Baker, who also left with an injury.
Josh Forgy handled the ninth earning his second save.
Baker is expected to miss up to two weeks with a sprained injury. He will likely be placed on the injured list and miss the remained of the season.
St. Louis got the only run it would need in the bottom of the fifth on Jovan Gill's 18th homer of the season, a solo shot off Lightning starting pitcher Bob Singer.
The Wakers' other two runs came in the eighth.
Jared Thomas and Nick Shaw led off the inning with singles off reliever Riley Pallister.
Thomas would score on a fly ball hit by Nathaniel Dixon.
Jose Segura scored Shaw with a single.
