THANK YOU, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER: The Wings swiped four bags on Tuesday night, and now have stolen 28 straight bases without being caught stealing...the last time the Wings were caught stealing was on July 24 vs. Scranton W/B...the Wings are leading Triple-A in stolen bases since the beginning of the second half of the season, totaling 81 since 6/24.

SLAMMIN' SAMPSON: RHP ADRIAN SAMPSON turned in 6.0 strong innings on Tuesday night, allowing just one run on one hit, while striking out four in his first start at Innovative Field since 6/12...this marked his third quality start of the season with the Wings, and his second against Syracuse in as many starts...

Tuesday's start marked the third time Sampson has logged at least 6.0 innings and allowed one hit in his career (last 4/10/2016 vs. ABQ, w/ TAC)...he is the first Red Wings pitcher to do so since Tyler Stuart on 8/21/2024 at Lehigh Valley.

I WANT YOU TO BE CHAPPIER: 1B ANDRÉS CHAPARRO blasted a double in the ninth inning to extend his season long on-base streak to 17 straight games with a hit, and his hitting streak to eight games...the Venezuelan-born slugger is hitting .343 (12-for-35) throughout his hitting streak (since 8/2 @ Charlotte), while adding six RBI and six extra-base hits over that stretch...Chaparro notched 650 hits in his MiLB career with his double.

SWEET DREAM NASIM: SS NASIM NUÑEZ logged a 1-for-2 night with a single at the plate, and became the first Red Wing since JACKSON CLUFF (5/22 at SYR) to steal three bases in a game...Nuñez leads the International League in stolen bases since 8/1, taking nine bags in nine attempts in that time...the Bronx-born speedster is hitting .444 (8-for-18) in August, boasting a .989 OPS...

Nuñez's three steals put him in the team-lead with 29, seventh-most in the IL...he is the 12th Red Wing since at least 2004 to steal at least three bases in a game.

THE WHITE LOUTOS: RHP RYAN LOUTOS came on in relief last night and turned in 1.1 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and a walk...over his last nine appearances with Rochester since 7/9 vs. Worcester, the 26-year-old has allowed just three earned over 12.0 full innings (2.25 ERA), while posting a 1.00 WHIP and limiting opposing batters to a .150 batting average (6-for-40)...

Across 17 Triple-A appearances at home between Rochester, Oklahoma City (LAD), and Memphis (STL), Loutos is 1-0 with a 1.27 ERA (3 ER/21.1 IP).

THIS DAY IN HISTORY...2022: On this day in 2022, the Red Wings topped Norfolk 5-1, fueled by a 11-strikeout performance from RHP CADE CAVALLI ...the Oklahoma native logged 7.0 innings, allowing just one run off of three hits...LHP FRANCISCO PÉREZ and RHP REED GARRETT each turned in a scoreless frame, striking out two batters each...CF ALEX CALL provided a spark on offense, crushing a solo homer to left, helping propel the Red Wings to their 50th win of the season.
