BOSTON (Ticker) -- Scott Randall recorded his 12th consecutive victory Saturday in Edmonton's 4-2 triumph at Tacoma.

Randall yielded two unearned runs and six hits with six strikeouts over eight innings to improve to 12-0 with a 3.32 ERA between Class AA New Britain and the Trappers. The 26 year-old righthander went 2-0 with the Rock Cats and is 10-0, 3.25 with the Trappers.

Randall is tied with Kirk Saarloos for the second-longest winning streak in the minors this season, just two wins behind Joe Roa. He also tied Manny Aybar for the longest winning streak in the Pacific Coast League over the last four years. Aybar won 10 straight decisions for Memphis in 1998.

A 1995 11th-round draft pick of the Colorado Rockies, Randall was sent to the Twins four years later in the trade that moved outfielder Chris Latham to the Colorado organization. Randall is in his second tour with the Twins. ...
