The RubberDucks' struggles at the plate returned Monday night as they managed only four hits in a 6-1 loss to the Bowie Baysox in a Class AA Eastern League game at Canal Park in Akron.
The Indians' Nick Swisher, in Akron on a rehab assignment because of inflammation in his left knee, was 0-for-3 and has gone 0-for-12 in four games with the RubberDucks.
Two of the RubberDucks' hits came in the fourth inning. Trailing, 3-0, they managed to load the bases with one out on Baysox right-hander Elih Villanueva on a single by designated hitter Anthony Gallas, a walk from outfielder Bryson Myles, and a single from first baseman Ronny Rodriguez.
