Royce Lewis did what he always seems to do — homering in his first at-bat in a return to a team.
It wasn’t enough as the St. Paul Saints lost 11-3 to Omaha on Thursday at CHS Field in St. Paul. The Storm Chasers had 16 hits compared to St. Paul’s six.
Lewis hit a two-run homer put the Saints ahead 2-1 in the first inning when he homered in his return to Triple-A after being demoted by the Twins this week. He finished 1 for 4. It was his third home run in Triple-A this season, accounting for all three of his hits at the level after homering twice during an earlier rehab stint this season.
Kaelen Culpepper was 1 for 4 out of the leadoff spot and scored on Lewis’ homer.
John Klein pitched 3 1/3 innings as the Saints’ starter, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk. He struck out five batters.
Omaha put the game out of reach against the bullpen.
C.J. Culpepper allowed two runs in 1 2/3 innings in relief of Klein. Trent Baker surrendered two runs in an inning of work and then Kody Funderburk gave up three runs on four hits in an inning pitched. No pitcher was unscathed as Raul Brito finished the game with two runs allowed in two innings.
St. Paul has lost two of the first three games of the series and hosts the Storm Chasers at 6:37 p.m. CDT on Friday.
