For eight innings, it looked like smooth sailing for the St. Paul Saints on Saturday. A three-run homer in the ninth inning by Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s Caleb Durdin then sent St. Paul to a 6-3 loss at CHS Field.
Durbin’s homer came off Saints reliever Jeff Brigham, who surrendered three runs on two hits and a walk in his one inning. Andrew Morris made his first Triple-A home start for St. Paul, allowing three runs in six innings.
Brooks Lee homered in his first at-bat for the Saints on his rehab assignment while playing as the designated hitter.
St. Paul newcomers Carson McCusker and Jeferson Morales each had hits in their first Triple-A game. Morales had a pair of hits.
