*LAST TIME OUT* MANSHIP BLANKS NORFOLK, 9-0-Starter Jeff Manship (3-2) pitched a complete-game four-hit shutout and catcher Wilson Ramos went 5-for-5 with two RBI, as Rochester shutout Norfolk 9-0, Thursday afternoon at Frontier Field. Manship picked up the win, allowing just four hits while striking out six in just his second career 9.0 inning complete-game shutout. Trevor Plouffe, Jacque Jones, Brock Peterson and Toby Gardenhire each had two hits in the Red Wings' 16-hit attack. A win tonight would give the Red Wings a three-game winning streak which would match their longest winning streak of the season (April 30-May 2). *WHAT'S ON DECK* HOME, SWEET, HOME-The Red Wings continue their eight-game homestand tonight with the first game of a four-game series vs. Toledo. Rochester will play Toledo through Monday before hitting the road for an eight-game road trip to Columbus and Toledo.
