Syracuse, NY - The Syracuse Chiefs lost to the Rochester Red Wings for the first time this season, 2-0, on Saturday afternoon at NBT Bank Stadium. Alejandro De Aza had two hits and a walk, extending his league-leading on-base streak to 18 games.
Rochester (8-10) scored first in the top of the second inning. Brock Stassi and Jermaine Curtis both singled, putting runners on first and third base with no outs. James Ramsey followed with a base hit that scored Stassi from third for a 1-0 Rochester lead.
The Red Wings added a second run in the eighth. Bobby Wilson led off with a double to the center-field wall, moved to third base on a Gregorio Petit sacrifice bunt, and scored on a wild pitch to give Rochester a 2-0 advantage.
