Saints come back to beat Omaha, take four out of six in series

Sunday’s game didn’t start in a promising manner for the St. Paul Saints in Omaha, with starting pitcher Travis Adams making his Triple-A debut.

The Saints are returning home with plenty of positive feelings.

St. Paul came back from a 3-0 deficit in the first inning to beat the Omaha Storm Chasers 4-3 on Sunday, taking four of six games in the road series.

Adams settled in and ended up pitching five innings. He gave up the three runs in the first on three hits and a walk but allowed one hit and two walks the rest of his outing to go with three strikeouts. Jeff Brigham (1-3) pitched two innings in relief of Adams for the win. Giovanny Gallegos and Hobie Harris each pitched a scoreless inning, with Harris notching his fifth save.

The comeback started in the fifth with an RBI single by Diego A. Castillo that scored Chris Williams and DaShawn Keirsey Jr. followed with an RBI single that plated Anthony Prato.

Castillo was part of the rally in the seventh, driving in Rylan Bannon with a sacrifice fly before Yunior Severino’s double brought home Keirsey for the winning run.

The Saints return home for a rare Monday game against Iowa with a 4:07 p.m. start. After an off day on Tuesday, the series resumes Wednesday.
