The Syracuse Mets came to town and took 4-of-6 from the Saints (27-35) this week, finishing off their trip with a 7-4 victory in which the St. Paul nine made 3 defensive errors and stranded 13 baserunners while occupying the batter’s box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An error in the 4th led to the losing margin for the Saints. With 1 out, first baseman Severino misplayed a grounder which would have been the second out. The next batter up, Sanchez, launched a 3-run homer to right-center field to put the Mets ahead 5-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier in the game, Severino hit a solo home run for his 10th 4-bagger of the season. In the next inning, Helman smashed a 2-run blast to again tie Severino at 10. They trail Wallner, who has 11 home runs in fewer games since being sent down by the Twins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
