Rochester, NY - The Rochester Red Wings picked up their second consecutive win last night, beating Norfolk 12-5.

RHP Franklyn Kilome held the Tides hitless through 5.0 innings of work while punching out eight batters and walking four. LHP Luis Avilan, RHP Matt Brill, LHP Alberto Baldonado, and RHP Curtis Taylor came on in relief and allowed four earned runs on five hits and two walks, punching out five batters as a ‘pen.

Rochester’s offense produced 16 knocks and 11 RBI across eight separate Red Wings in the win. Six of those eight Wings earned two-hit performances, with CF Alex Call logging a three-hit and three-RBI night. RHP Cade Cavalli will toe the rubber tonight for the Wings as they look to extend their two-game winning streak to three straight.

RHP Cade Cavalli gets the nod for the Wings today, who looks to build off of his last outing (8/7 at COL) where he tossed 5.0 innings of action, allowing just two earned runs on six hits and three walks while punching out four…the 6’4” righty has the most strikeouts on the Wings squad this season and a K/9 of 9.0 (85Ks, 85.0 IP) and has a 9.8 K/9 (48Ks, 44.2 IP) across his last nine starts (since 6/4). RHP Cavalli is averaging ~five strikeouts per game this year (4.7222).
