A streak of a different kind: Saints beat Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for third in a row

After losing 10 games in a row, the St. Paul Saints have now reeled off three straight wins after beating the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 14-6 on Friday night at CHS Field.

Jair Camargo and Michael Helman each had three hits for St. Paul, while Rylan Bannon hit a three-run homer to lead an offense that put up 16 hits. Alex Kirilloff, starting a rehab assignment for the Minnesota Twins, doubled in five at-bats.

Randy Dobnak (10-6) allowed six runs — five earned — in five innings for the Saints. He gave up eight hits and three walks in a tough outing. But Friday was all about the St. Paul offense.

The Saints scored seven times in the first inning to blow the game open.

DaShawn Keirsey Jr. had a two-run single to start the scoring for St. Paul after Scranton/Wilkes-Barre scored once in the top of the first. Camargo and Payton Eeles had RBI singles before Bannon’s three-run homer, his 17th of the season.

Three more runs scored in the third on an error and a two-run single by Diego A. Castillo. Camargo added a two-run double in the fourth before the RailRiders started to chip away at the lead.

Helman added an RBI single and Wynton Bernard had an RBI double in the sixth.
