The struggling Yankees haven’t been exciting to watch lately, but their Triple-A team just did something historic.
In this one, the Saints jumped out to a 9-0 lead after two innings. They manufactured three runs on the first, with runs scored on a bases loaded hit batter, a sacrifice fly and a single. St. Paul exploded for six runs in the second, keyed by a three-run homer by Chris Williams., opened the RailRiders scoring in the fifth with an RBI single, scoring Blake Perkins. Florial, who is hitting .286, was 2-for-4.
The RailRiders scored three times in the sixth to cut the deficit to 9-4. First baseman Ronald Guzman blasted a two-run shot to right-center, his ninth of the season, and catcher Max McDowell doubled in second baseman Tyler Wade, whoSWB added three more runs in the seventh, Guzman doubled in Peraza and scored on a home run to straightaway center from Armando Alvarez; his 11th homer of the season.
In the eighth, the RailRiders cut St. Paul’s lead to 9-8 after Florial, batting leadoff, belted an RBI double, driving in McDowell, who doubled in front of him. Then Peraza, who went 3-for-5 and is hitting .261 this season, brought home Florial with his game-winning blast. The RailRiders comeback wouldn’t have been possible if the bullpen did hold the Saints scoreless for the final seven innings, including a stretch in which their relievers retired 16 straight from the second through the seventh innings.
Jose Mujica, Richard Rodriguez and Luke Bard each worked two shutout innings before Greg Weissert pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th save of the year. Moran suffered the loss for the Saints.
