After their four-day break, the St. Paul Saints returned to play with an 8-6 win in Toledo, Ohio on Friday. The Sa7ints entered the International League break with six straight losses but snapped the streak with a big offensive night.

Randy Dobnak (8-5) pitched five innings, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks. Jeff Brigham earned his first save with 1 1/3 scoreless innings.

But it was the offense that led the way with Chris Williams tallying three hits, including his 11th homer, to go with three RBIs. Payton Eeles had two hits and hit his second homer for St. Paul.

After the Mud Hens opened the scoring in the bottom of the third inning, the Saints went to work with the bats. Williams hit a solo homer in the fourth to tie the game. Toledo took another lead before Eeles homered in the fifth and Williams followed with an RBI single. St. Paul scored five times in the sixth with RBI singles from Dalton Shuffield and Rylan Bannon before Williams plated the final run with a sacrifice fly.
