Zimmerman Leads Saints to Victory, 3-2
Ryan Zimmerman set a single game high for strikeouts, fanning nine, as the St. Paul Saints edged the Milwaukee Milkmen, 3-2, avoiding the sweep. Zimmerman allowed just four hits, a walk and a run in winning his first game of the season. Amazingly, the right-hander did not strikeout any batters through the first two innings, then struck out two in each of the next two frames. He fanned the side in the seventh, his final inning of work.
Both teams scored two runs in the first inning. The game remained tied until the top of the eighth when the Saints loaded the bases with two down. Justin Byrd brought home the winning run with a single that scored Troy Alexander.
