Saints hammer Iowa in series opener on road
The St. Paul Saints scored in bunches to rout the Iowa Cubs 13-3 on Tuesday night time in Des Moines.
David Banuelos had the primary huge hit for the Saints, a two-run homer within the second inning.
Within the fourth, when the guests scored seven runs, Spencer Steer had a three-run double and Jose Godoy a three-run homer. Jake Cave added a two-run double within the ninth.
Steer and Cave, the primary two hitters within the Saints’ lineup, each had three hits and scored twice.
After starter Jordan Balazovic gave up three early runs, 4 Saints relievers held the Cubs to no runs and two hits within the remaining 5⅔ innings.
Partly due to a rash of current roster modifications, the Saints, who’ve solely 13 non-pitchers out there, began 4 catchers: one behind the plate, two within the infield at second and third base, and one in left subject.
