Quad City starting pitcher Justus Sheffield issued three straight walks in the first inning, and St. Louis' Rhys Hoskins made him pay by following it with a grand slam, propelling the River Walkers to an 8-4 lead in their season opener at Fenway Park in Davenport, Iowa.
Michael Conforto led off the fifth inning with a solo homer off reliever Ty Blach, making it 8-0.
The Thunder would score the final four runs of the game, but it was never really close.
St. Louis starting pitcher Aaron Nola scuffled but managed to toss four shutout innings before giving up a pair of runs in the fifth to end his day.
Three relievers (John Curtiss (2.0 IP), Jairo Labourt (1.0) and Bill Wasson (1.0)) combined to close out the win for the Walkers.
