PAWTUCKET -- The Pawtucket Red Sox matched a season-high three-game winning streak with a 2-1 victory over the Toledo Mud Hens Monday night at McCoy Stadium.

PawSox starter Kris Johnson improved to 2-2 after working 5 2/3 solid innings, allowing one run on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts.

The PawSox got on the board in the bottom of the third inning when Rocco Baldelli's sacrifice fly gave Pawtucket a 1-0 lead. The Rhode Island native went 0-for-3 with a sac fly in his first rehab game with the PawSox.

Teammate Gil Velazquez provided an RBI-single in the bottom of the fourth inning to give Pawtucket a two-run lead. That proved crucial as the Mud Hens' Ryan Roberson led off the top of the fifth inning with a solo home run.

Pawtucket closer Daniel Bard recorded his fourth save of the season.
