Tim Christman scattered four hits over seven innings, and the St. Paul Saints completed their first road sweep in nearly three years with a 4-0 victory over the Sioux Falls Canaries.

The Saints are off to a 3-0 start in the Northern League for the first time since 1993, their first season.

Justin Hall hit his second homer of the season, helping the Saints gain a road sweep for the first time since August 6-9, 2001, when they won four in a row at Duluth.
