Pitching coach Mitch Wylie gave up a run on four hits in four innings as the Saints beat host Sioux City 3-1 in the second game of an American Association doubleheader Monday night.
In the first game, Alex Llanos hit a walk-off home run, giving the Explorers a 5-4 victory.
Wylie hadn't piched in a professional game since September 2006 because of a labrum injury. But the righthander recorded five strikeouts without a walk Monday.
Julius Thames went 4-for-4 in the second game and drove in the go-ahead run on an RBI single in the fifth inning as the Saints maintained a share of the lead in the North Division.
