- Tsung-Che Cheng, Matt Thaiss lead WooSox in come-from-behind win
The Worcester Red Sox overcame a four-run deficit late Wednesday en route to a 5-4 win over the St. Paul Saints on the road.
Emmanuel Rodriguez gave the Saints a 4-0 lead in the third inning when he hit a massive grand slam 451 feet to center with two outs.

The WooSox, though, slowly chipped away at that lead.
Tsung-Che Cheng homered to right-center in the fourth, making it a 4-1 game. Mikey Romero then loaded the bases in the top of the seventh before a Kristian Campbell sac fly cut the deficit to two.
Worcester tacked on another run in the eighth when Matt Thaiss hit a ground-rule double to drive in Cheng.
The team then took the lead in the ninth. Cheng tied the game on a sacrifice bunt with runners at the corners. Thaiss then singled to right field to bring Lloyd around to score the go-ahead run.
Wyatt Olds earned the win for Worcester, giving up one hit, one walk and striking out three in two innings of relief work.
