In American Association Daily, the Minor League Sports Report and This Week in the Association Name Sioux City Explorers starter Justin Vernia as Rookie of the Year. Robert Pannier provides the details.
The St. Paul Saints had to feel pretty good about their chances of sweeping the Chicago Dogs on Saturday, as they sent ace Eddie Medina to the hill, who had the third best ERA in the American Association heading into the contest. However, two home runs by Kenny Wilson and three total by Chicago led […]
Friday night proved to be a banner day all the way around for the St. Paul Saints, as they not only defeated the Chicago Dogs, 10-3, but saw the Gary Southshore RailCats nearly get no-hit by the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, increasing their lead in the North Division to two games. The victory, coupled with the RailCats […]
The St. Paul Saints were looking to extend their winning streak to four on Thursday night. Trevor Foss helped to make that reality, holding the Chicago Dogs to just one run in 6.1-innings as the Saints pulled off the 3-1 victory, despite a 20 minute delay in the seventh inning to accommodate a firework show. […]
The Chicago Dogs have been relishing their role of being the spoiler over the last few weeks, and the Wichita Wingnuts were the unfortunate recipients on Friday night. The Dogs rallied for four unanswered runs to down Wichita 5-2. Stephen Perez knocked in two to help lead the way and the Chicago bullpen tossed 5.1-innings […]

The St. Paul Saints entered Sunday’s game against the Chicago Dogs on a three-game losing skid.

It has been a tough start to the 2018 American Association season for the Chicago Dogs, but one huge bright spot has been the play of Trey Vavra. That was on display on Saturday night, as the Chicago first baseman drove in two runs in the eighth inning to help lead the Dogs come from […]
It must have felt like déjà vu for the St. Paul Saints on Friday night as they made their first trip ever to Impact Field, home of the Chicago Dogs. With a look very much like CHS Field, St. Paul had to feel like they were at home, but the luster wore off quickly as […]
Before the 2018 season, right-hander Vinny Nittoli approached St. Paul Saints Manager George Tsamis looking to move into the starting rotation. If his first start was any indicator, he will be a permanent fixture in the Saints rotation. Nittoli tossed six outstanding innings, allowing only 2 hits while striking out 10 in leading St. Paul […]
If there is one thing we know about the St. Paul Saints, it is that they can score runs. After putting up 17 runs against the Gary Southshore RailCats, the Saints returned home for their season opener and, thanks to a 3-RBI performance by Max Murphy, downed the Chicago Dogs, 6-4.
