Walkers news: April 23 -- Indianapolis 4, St. Louis 3
Record: 12-6, 1st, 1 GA Kansas City
Indianapolis put together a four-run top of the second inning against St.Louis starting pitcher Alex Faedo and made it stand up with a 4-3 win at Busch Stadium (1997).
With the win, the Racers took the final game of the three-game series after dropping the first two.
Indy's first three batters reached base against Faedo to open the second, including an RBI double from Austin Barnes.
Pitcher Julio Urias and Gabriel Maciel both drove in runs with ground outs.
D.J. Stewart made it 4-0 with a run-scoring double.
A Rhys Hoskins solo homer off Urias got the Walkers onto the board.
They added two more in the sixth to pull within a run.
But St. Louis could not get it tied, despite having a runner at second base with no outs in the seventh.
Urias left after four innings having allowed one run on four hits.
He was followed to the mound by five relievers -- Aaron Sanchez (1.1 IP), Henry Martinez (0.2), Gerson Bautista (1.0), Ryan Stanek (1.0) and Pazos (1.0) -- with Sanchez earning his first win of the season and Pazos his second save.
