The Saints earned their fifth shutout this season on the road Wednesday with a 5-0 victory in Rochester, N.Y.

The scoring started early, with a single from Michael Helman and a Matt Wallner walk putting runners at first and second, and an opposite field home run from Yunior Severino.

Adam Plutko seemed to be recovering well from offseason hip surgery, with four shutout innings.

The Saints’ Alex Isola added a run in the sixth inning, and Severino ended the scoring in the seventh with an RBI single into left field.

Game four of the series is Thursday at 10:05 a.m.
