SOGGY WINGS: The Rochester Red Wings will play a twin bill Thursday, after their game against Scranton/WB was postponed due to rain Wednesday night...this is the Wings second doubleheader of the year, with the other coming on 4/8 in Syracuse...RHP WILY PERALTA is slated to take the ball for his fifth start of the year in game one, having allowed just two hits over his last two starts (9.2 IP)...RHP TOMMY ROMERO takes the ball in the back half of the twin-bill, making his third start (sixth appearance) of 2023...Rochester is looking to snap a nine-game skid against the RailRiders, dating back to 2022.

QUALITY CONTROL: RHP JOAN ADON logged his first career quality start at the Triple-A level Tuesday night...he allowed just two earned runs and one walk in 6.0 innings of work...this was Adon's tenth professional quality start, last occurring with Washington on 5/28/22-G2 vs. Colorado...

Dating back to 2013, 2018 marks the only year in which the Wings entered the month of May with less than 10 wins.
