It looked like a repeat of Saturday afternoon’s game. The St. Paul Saints had the lead off man on in six of the first seven innings, had the bases loaded and nobody out in the sixth, but couldn’t find a way to muster a big hit as they went 2-12 with runners in scoring...
The first doubleheader in St. Paul Saints Triple-A franchise was on June 4 at Louisville. The Saints won both ends of that double dip. Since then they have had 20 opportunities to equal that feet and 20 times they’ve failed to win both games. That was until Friday...
The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have recalled right-handed pitcher Zebby Matthews and utility player Ryan Kreidler from Triple-A St. Paul. Matthews has made seven starts for the Saints this season, going 3-2 with a 4.72 ERA (34.1 IP, 18 ER), 11 walks, 33...
Early on the St. Paul Saints pitching led the way and through 5.0 innings limited the Columbus Clippers to just two hits. After that, however, the Saints couldn’t quiet the Clippers bats as they scored eight unanswered runs in an 8-3 defeat at CHS Field on Wednesday...

The old saying is true, “the season is a marathon not a sprint” and that pertains to this homestand too. With 12 games over 13 days we’re bringing the passion with some insane promotions and we promise not to dog it. Our ideas have graduated from the ridiculous to the...
The Minnesota Twins today announced that they have shifted the start time of their Friday, May 16 home game vs. the Milwaukee Brewers at Target Field to a 6:10 p.m. CT first pitch, rather than 7:10 p.m. as previously scheduled. Target Field gates will now open at 4:00...
Las Vegas is a city built on hopes, dreams, and a little bit of crazy. The St. Paul Saints had it all in their first ever trip to a Pacific Coast League Ballpark. The hopes of playing great baseball. The dreams of getting over .500 and perhaps making a run at a first...
One led on offense, the other on the mound. They both went above and beyond and helped guide the St. Paul Saints to their third victory in four tries against the Las Vegas Aviators. Orlando Arcia tied a career high with five RBI and Zebby Matthews tied a franchise...
Not since they were 3-3 have the St. Paul Saints been .500. Their first four-game winning streak of the season enabled them to get there on Wednesday night as the offense crushed three more homers, set a season-high with an eight run seventh inning, and Saints...

The Minnesota Twins return to Target Field tonight for their third homestand of the season, a seven-game stay against last year’s American League Championship Series participants. First, Minnesota welcomes the Seattle Mariners for three games from tonight-Wednesday,...
The St. Paul Saints pitchers are apparently playing a game of “can you top this.” A day after throwing their first shutout in 170 games, they nearly threw their second in back-to-back games. Only a one out, ninth inning home run prevented that from happening. Zebby...
The Minnesota Twins announced they have reinstated left-handed pitcher Kody Funderburk from the Paternity List. Funderburk missed the club’s three-game series at New York against the Mets after his wife, Alicia, gave birth to the couple’s first child, a daughter named...
After going 2-19 in the previous two seasons, the St. Paul Saints thought they had exorcised their Victory Field demons when they swept the opening three-game series of the season. All that goodwill from those games has vanished over the last three days. For the...
The good news for the St. Paul Saints is they don’t have to wait long to wash the taste out of their mouth from Wednesday night’s defeat. Their next game is at 10:05 a.m. (CT) on Thursday. The bad news is they suffered the largest margin of defeat in a shutout in...
The Minnesota Twins announced that they have recalled left-handed pitcher Connor Prielipp from Triple-A St. Paul. Prielipp, 25, appeared in four games (3 starts) for the Saints from March 27-April 16, going 1-0 with a 2.30 ERA (15.2 IP, 4 ER), eight walks, 22...

Some of the more bizarre games over the last two seasons for the St. Paul Saints have been played on Sunday. Maybe it’s due to the fact they’ve played five games against the same team. Maybe it’s the mental exhaustion at the end of the week. Whatever it is, the Saints...
They managed just five hits, but they were timely. They threw more than 200 pitches, but made them count in the important situations. On a chilly night at CHS Field the St. Paul Saints came up big when it counted and came away with their third straight victory, 7-4...
It went just the way they drew it up. The St. Paul Saints plan going into Thursday night’s game at CHS Field was to get five innings from Connor Prielipp, turn it over to a piggyback situation and get Kendry Rojas three plus innings, and have a reliever finish it off....
