Record 9-3
Wednesday's International League contest between Pawtucket and Rochester was postponed due to rain at Frontier Field.
Wednesday's rainout at Frontier Field gives the Red Wings 10 doubleheaders this season, including a split with Pawtucket on the road last week.
Wednesday's game will be made up as part of a doubleheader at Frontier on July 6 beginning at 6:05 p.m. Fans missed a dream pitching matchup between Rochester's Matt Garza and Pawtucket's Jon Lester. By July, it's highly likely that both could be pitching in the majors.
"I was excited about seeing it," Red Wings manager Stan Cliburn said.
Garza will start for the Wings when the team begins an eight-day Ohio road trip on Friday night in Toledo.
Twins general manager Terry Ryan is expected to scout the Wings on Saturday night.

From miraclebaseball.com: It was an educational day at Hammond Stadium with Erik Lis giving the Clearwater Threshers a hitting lesson by going 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles helping the Fort Myers Miracle to a 5-4 win over the Threshers on Wednesday afternoon. The day game featured Education Day I at the ball park with 2,323 screaming youngsters on hand.
Starting things off early, the Miracle would tally two in the second as Steve Tolleson delivered a one-out single to right scoring Javi Sanchez who led off with a walk. Dwayne White would follow with a groundout to first that scored Toby Gardenhire from third.
Clearwater responded with a pair of runs of their own in the third as Jeremy Slayden connected on a two-run single to center bringing home Matt Thayer and Greg Golson. Thayer drew a one-out walk while Golson reached base with a double to left.
A three-run fifth frame for the Miracle gave them the lead for good as Dwayne White, who led off with a single to center, scored on the first of two doubles by Lis on the afternoon giving the good guys a 3-2 lead. Ovalle would soon trade places with Lis at second base with his own RBI-double before scoring on a fielding error by Thresher shortstop Fidel Hernandez.
Clearwater would threaten with runs in the fifth and sixth cutting it to a one run game. Welinson Baez would slap a two-out RBI single to right scoring Thayer in fifth, while a couple of Miracle errors led to the Clearwater run in the sixth. Hernandez would reach on a throwing error by Tolleson at short in the sixth and later score as Thayer reached on a fielding error by Lis at first base to keep the inning alive and score Thayer from third.
Miracle relievers Frank Mata and Eddie Morlan would shut the door on the Threshers in the final three innings. Mata tossed two perfect innings with one strikeout picking up his second win of the year. Morlan registered his third save of the season allowing no runs on a couple of hits in the ninth.
The Miracle now embark on a seven-game in six day road trip beginning with a four-game set at Dunedin. The Miracle and Blue Jays will play a doubleheader on Thursday evening beginning at 5 p.m.
