PEORIA, Ill. - The Fort Wayne TinCaps won their third consecutive game on the road Tuesday night, drubbing the Peoria Chiefs (St. Louis Cardinals affiliate), 11-4, at Dozer Park.

Left fielder Corey Rosier led the offense with a career-high four RBIs, as well as a season-high four hits. The left-handed batter smacked an opposite-field, bases-clearing double in the top of the third inning against No. 16 Cardinals prospect Austin Love to give the 'Caps (12-13, 39-52) a 3-0 lead, and they never looked back.

Fort Wayne built its advantage up to 6-0 in the sixth as designated hitter Matthew Acosta drove in a pair with a double and center fielder Robert Hassell III added an RBI groundout.

Meanwhile, TinCaps starter Jackson Wolf was excellent. The 6-foot-7 lefty limited Peoria (10-15, 38-53) to just one hit and a walk over five scoreless innings with three strikeouts.

Ahead 6-3 in the eighth, the 'Caps poured it on with four more runs. Catcher Brandon Valenzuela spanked a two-run double, first baseman Cole Cummings, who had a three-hit game, tacked on an RBI single, and Rosier did as well. Cummings provided another RBI hit in the ninth that upped it to 11-3.

The last time Fort Wayne won three straight on the road was April 23-24 at Lansing, which included a doubleheader sweep.

Next Game: Wednesday, July 27 @ Peoria (7:35 p.m.)

- TinCaps Probable Starter: LHP Robert Gasser (No. 7 Padres prospect)
