- BRAD NELSON (1-for-4; 2 RBI) had a two-run single as part of the Wings' five-run third inning, giving him at least one RBI in four consecutive games (tying a Red Wings season-high). Over his last four games, Nelson is 6-for-15 (.400) with a double, two homers, five runs and 8 RBI (27% of his season total).
- DOUG BERNIER (3-for-5; R) started as the Wings designated hitter on Monday night for the first time since July 8, 2008 with Colorado Springs of the Pacific Coast League.
