The Rochester Red Wings lost their 12th-consecutive game yesterday, falling 2-0 to the Columbus Clippers.

Last night, RHP Cade Cavalli gave up just two earned runs over four innings of work, he bullpen arms of LHP Fransisco Perez, RHP Will Harris (ML-Rehab), and LHP Matt Cronin combined for four perfect innings of relief, retiring 12 consecutive batters.

C Riley Adams and OF David Dahl each doubled, but were stranded on base as the club was 0-for-3 with RISP.

RHP Daniel Ponce de Leon will start for Rochester as the team looks to snap a 12-game losing streak.

DOUBLE TROUBLE

C Riley Adams was one of two Red Wings to record an extra-base hit in yesterday's contest, poking a double in the fourth inning...since joining Rochester on June 3, the California-native leads the club with nine extra-base knocks (6 doubles, three homers) over that span.

Adams has a .283 (15-for-53) batting average with Rochester this season after batting .233 (28-for-120) at the Triple-A level last year with Buffalo.

PITCHING MATCHUP:

RHP Daniel Ponce de Leon will get the start today as the club looks to snap a 12-game losing streak; the righty allowed just one earned run over three innings of work while striking out six batters before the game was suspended (weather) in his first start with the club.

Leon's six strikeouts were his most in a three-inning span since he struck out the first nine batters he faced on (5/21 w/ SAC).
