GAME NOTES:

-TURNING POINT: Red Wings starter Kyle Gibson tossed 6.2 scoreless innings for the first time in almost 3 years helping the Wings to their 4th straight victory on Saturday over the Buffalo Bisons at Frontier Field. Making Gibson's performance even more impressive was the fact he faced the International League's top offense which came in hitting .319 on the season... KEY MOMENT: Eric Farris lifted a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 5th inning to plate Evan Bigley who doubled to leadoff the inning for the only Wings run of the day.

-Gibson, along with relievers Caleb Thielbar and Tim Wood, limited the Bisons to just 4 baserunners (2 hits & 2 walks); however none reached as far as second base as 2 double plays helped the Wings face just 2 over the minimum... The trio struck out 11 against the hardest team to strike out in the IL .
