Rochester Red Wings News Release


¨THE LEAD: After committing a throwing error that allowed the tying run to cross the plate in the top of the 8th inning, third baseman Deibinson Romero redeemed himself by launching a two-run homer to left field in the bottom of the 8th inning (his first Triple-A HR) to give the Wings a 12-10 advantage. After Eric Farris tacked on a run with an RBI triple, Shairon Martis recorded his second save in as many days and just the 3rd of his career as the Wings finished off the four-game sweep of the IronPigs (Phillies) with a 13-10 win. It is the first sweep for the Wings at Frontier Field since July 12-15, 2012 vs Toledo... The Wings four-game win streak also matches a season-high (April 24-27).

¨Clete Thomas highlighted a six-run fourth inning rally with his second three-run homer in as many days and his 3rd three-run blast on the year (hefs the only Red Wings player with a 3-run HR this season)... Thomas now has 3 homers and 7 RBI in his last 8 games since returning from a quad injury that sidelined him for two weeks... The six-run inning tied a season-high for the Wings (5th inning on 5/19 @ LHV).

¨Oswaldo Arcia snapped an 0-for-14 skid since his return to Rochester with a two-out RBI double to left-centerfield in the third inning... He then hit a mammoth solo homer to right-center in the fourth inning following Thomasf three-run homer... It was the 2nd time this season the Wings have hit back-to-back homers. Chris Colabello and Jeff Clement also went back-to-back on May 16 vs Durham at Frontier Field... Arcia finished the day 4-for-5 with 3 runs, 2 RBI and finished a triple-shy of the cycle. It was Arciafs 10th career 4-hit day.

¨Kyle Gibson allowed six runs on eight hits in six innings but was bailed out by his offense as he was still in line for the win until Lehigh Valley tied it in the 8th... Gibson saw his scoreless streak snapped at 20 innings on a Jermaine Mitchell fielderfs choice in the third inning... Leandro Castro followed with a line drive home run into the bullpen in left that staked Lehigh Valley to the early 3-0 lead.

¨Dan Rohlfing, fresh off his first Triple-A homer in his Red Wings debut on Wednesday night, picked up three more hits on Thursday and is now 4-for-5 with a HR, 4 runs, 2 RBI and 2 BB in his first two Triple-A games.
