Meanwhile, Tanner Tully held the Saints quiet. He finished after five innings of two-run ball allowing just four hits while striking out two. Ron Marinaccio tossed a 1-2-3 inning of quick work.
St. Paul tied it up at three apiece in the seventh. With back-to-back doubles off of Scott Effross, Payton Eeles drove in Jeferson Morales. Nick Burdi (W, 1-0) pitched a clean frame to keep things status quo.
The game remained tied as the contest moved into the ninth. Trammell reached on a hit by pitch and Jahmai Jones doubled to put them both in scoring position. Durbin smoked a three-run blast into the opponent's bullpen for a 6-3 lead.
Anthony Misiewicz (S, 7) allowed a pair of runners to reach but stranded them on the basepaths to preserve the win.
