CHASE THIS FEELING: Rochester picked up their first win since 7/15 (vs. Omaha), snapping their franchise-record losing streak at 19 games...during their skid, starting on 7/16, the Wings were outscored 133-79 (-54), with three of the losses coming via shutout.

11 of their 19 losses saw either the tying or winning run come to bat in the ninth inning.

MY NAME'S NOT RICK: RHP Patrick Murphy got the start for Rochester in yesterday's contest, his first starting nod since 8/24/2019 with Double-A New Hampshire (TOR)...Murphy pitched a season-high 3.0 innings while allowing an earned run on one hit, a first-inning homer by Norfolk's Jordan Westburg, striking out three batters in the process...this was the righty's first appearance since 7/15 that he has allowed one or fewer runners to reach base safely.

WAXING THE COR-VERRETT: In his first appearance since 7/28 (against Scranton/WB), RHP Logan Verrett came on in relief of starter RHP Patrick Murphy...in 5.0 innings, the righty allowed three runs, one earned, on four hits while striking out four...in his last four outings dating back to 7/10, the Texas-native has an ERA of 1.29 (3 ER/21 IP) and a K/BB ratio of 15/1.

AIR JORDAN: In his first appearance with the Wings since being optioned by Washington on 8/7, RHP Jordan Weems pitched 1.0 inning, walking one and striking out two while earning his 12th save of the season...the righty's 12 saves rank fifth in the International League and first on the Wings squad.

YOU'RE KIL-O-ME, SMALLS: RHP Franklyn Kilome will make his fifth career appearance in a Wings uniform tonight, having logged the most IP (18.2) among Wings arms since being assigned to Triple-A Rochester on 7/15... in his most recent appearance (8/6 at COL), the DR-native tossed 5.2 innings, allowing just two earned runs on six hits while punching out four batters...across his last three appearances, the 6'6" righty has a K/9 of 12.5 (18K/13 IP).
