BUT TONIGHT I BOUNCE BACK: The Rochester Red Wings dropped the second of a six-game set against Worcester, 5-2, tying the series at a game apiece...1B JAKE NOLL launched his fifth home run of the season in the loss, his first at Innovative Field since 7/4 against Buffalo...2B LUIS GARCÍA extended his team-leading on-base streak to seven games, turning in a 1-for-4 night at the plate with an RBI...LHP ALEMAO HERNANDEZ turned in 4.2 innings of one-run baseball in his second career Triple-A start, allowing just three hits while striking out and walking two...the Wings look to retake the series lead tonight, sending RHP WILY PERALTA to the mound to make his team-leading 23rd start of the season against WooSox RHP Brian Van Belle.
OK, THATS HISTORIC: After scoring two runs in last night's game, the Wings have now scored a run in 112 straight games dating back to 4/8 in Syracuse...this marks the longest streak in the International League, 52 games ahead of second place (JAX, 70)...no International League team has scored a run in 100-straight games since at least 2005, and no Red Wings team has done so since Innovative Field opened in 1997....
Rochester has been shut out just twice this season, which would be the fewest in a single season for a Red Wings team since at least 1985, with the next-closest being four in 1993.
SETTLING IN: LHP ALEMAO HERNANDEZ made his second Triple-A start last night, tossing 4.2 innings and allowing one earned on three hits while punching out and walking a pair...this comes after he allowed six earned on nine hits across 3.0 innings of work in his Triple-A debut (8/17 at BUF)...
Hernandez has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 12 of his 16 starts between Rochester and Double-A Harrisburg this season.
NOTHING FOR YOU: RHP AMOS WILLINGHAM delivered 1.1 hitless innings while striking out three and walking one...with yesterday's performance, he has now delivered scoreless appearances in five of his last six outings with the Red Wings dating back to 6/23 vs. OMA...
Willingham has left opponents scoreless this year in nine of his 14 appearances with Rochester.
RAKE NOLL: 1B JAKE NOLL launched his fifth home run of the season last night, first at home since 7/4 against Buffalo as part of a 1-for-3 night at the plate...Noll has now hit all five of his homers off right-handed pitching, carrying a season batting average of .287 (25-for-87) compared to a .200 (7-for-35) average against southpaws.
BABIP: The Wings combined to strike out just three times in the game yesterday, just the fifth time this season they have struck out three or fewer times, and the first since 8/8 against Lehigh Valley...
Over the last 30 days, Rochester has posted the fourth-fewest strikeouts in the International League (214).
HOME COOKIN': LF DARREN BAKER picked up his first extra-base hit since 8/8, and first double since 5/27 in yesterday's contest...the California native went 1-for-3 with a two-bagger, an RBI, and a run scored, his fourth run driven in through 18 games in August...
Baker's double marks his 80th hit of the season with Rochester which is the most hits he has recorded with a single team in his career.
SWEET LUIS: 2B LUIS GARCÍA extended his team-leading on-base streak to seven games last night, going 1-for-4 with an RBI...since being transferred to Rochester on 8/3, he has logged the second-most hits (15) and total bases (23) on the team behind TRAVIS BLANKENHORN in both categories (20 H, 47 TB) while leading the team in doubles (5).
