Three pitchers held the Saints to two runs and six hits. The visitors were 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position.
Even so, the Saints took a 2-1 lead in the top of the sixth inning on Royce Lewis' two-run homer. It was his second long ball of the season.
Toledo regained the lead in the bottom of the inning, scoring three runs. Jack Lopez had a two-run triple and Chris Rabago an RBI singles.
Jake Faria started for St. Paul. He allowed only one run — on Ryan Kreidler's homer in the second — and four hits in four innings. Reliever Chi Chi Gonzalez was roughed up for three runs on five hits in three innings and took the loss.
