MYRTLE BEACH -- If Randall Delgado feels like it's been six weeks since his last win, it's because, well ... it has.

The Myrtle Beach right-hander wasn't necessarily shelled in a 6-4 loss to Kinston at BB&T Coastal Field on Thursday, but he gave up just enough to extend his winless streak to eight consecutive appearances. Delgado gave up a two-run home run to Kinston's Lucas Montero in the third. He then rebounded to strike out the side in the fourth before he ran into the trouble that ended his night an inning later.

The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder started the fifth with a harmless foul out, but he then allowed the next four batters to reach base. Abner Abreu's RBI single tied the game at 3, and manager Rocket Wheeler then pulled Delgado in favor of Yeliar Castro.
