Walkers news: May 31: Kansas City 7, St. Louis 6
A two-run pinch-hit homer from Jedd Gyorko highlighted a four-run bottom of the sixth inning for the St. Louis River Walkers, giving them a seemingly comfortable 6-2 lead over the Kansas City Pit Masters at Busch Stadium.
But it wasn't.
The Masters scored twice in the seventh -- Joey Gallo with a two-run homer off Jonathon Holder -- and the eighth -- RBI double from Yasmani Grandal off Brad Boxberger and run-scoring single from pitcher Tyler Thornberg off Andrew Miller -- to tie it.
Kansas City then won it with a run in the top of the ninth, after Eduardo Escobar reached with a two-out single off Miller.
He later scored on a Brett Phillips double off Jake Diekman.
Gallo had a big game at the plate for the Masters going 3 for 5 with a double, a homer, two runs scored and three RBIs.
