Saints lose 5-2 in Toledo
The St. Paul Saints saw their three-game winning streak against the Mud Hens come to an end in a 5-2 loss Thursday at Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio.
The three-game streak was the longest in franchise history against the Mud Hens, a team that always gives the Saints trouble.
The game was tied 2-2 in the sixth when Brock Stewart made his Saints pitching debut. He struck out Daz Cameron, but Cameron reached first on a passed ball through catcher Chris Williams’ legs. Jamie Westbrook delivered a two-out double to score Cameron.
The Mud Hens scored two more runs in the eighth, again helped by a Saints defensive mistake. With a runner on second, Brendan Davis singled to left to drive in a run, and then took second base on the throw home. Williams’ throw to second trying to get Davis tailed away from second baseman Michael Helman and glanced off his glove into right-center field, and Davis came around to score.
The Saints had five hits, including doubles by Matt Wallner, Mark Contreras, Elliot Soto and John Andreoli.
