ABOUT LAST NIGHT...: Looking to win two straight, the Rochester Red Wings dropped their Thursday matinee against the Charlotte Knights, 7-2...the Red Wings offense was held to just five hits, including a homer off the bat of C RILEY ADAMS and a double from 2B CAYDEN WALLACE ...looking to get back into the win column tonight, the Red Wings will send RHP CHANDLER CHAMPLAIN to the mound to face Charlotte southpaw Noah Schultz.

THE CHAMP(LAIN) IS HERE: Slated to make his 16th start (23rd app.) of the season tonight is RHP CHANDLER CHAMPLAIN ...the California-born 27-year-old took a no-decision his last time out against the RailRiders on 8/9, allowing two earned on six hits across 3.0 innings, while striking out three and walking none...across those 15 starts, Champlain is 6-1 with a 3.38 ERA (29 ER/77.1 IP), with a 0.91 WHIP and .211 BAA...across the full season, he ranks third among qualified International League pitchers with a 1.09 WHIP, sixth with a .244 BAA and 99.2 IP, and sixth with a 4.06 ERA (45 ER/99.2 IP)... Since making his professional debut in 2022, Champlain is one of nine Minor League pitchers to make at least 20 starts in all four seasons coming into 2026...tonight will mark his 115th career start, pulling him into a two-way tie with RHP Casey Lawrence for the most starts in MiLB in the last four-plus seasons.

ACTION ADAMS: C RILEY ADAMS registered one of the Red Wings five hits in Thursday afternoon's loss, a 421-foot home run, his second round tripper in as many games...the homer also extended his on-base streak to 16 games, T-2nd alongside 3B TREY LIPSCOMB and four behind LF PHILLIP GLASSER for the longest streak among Red Wings...the righty slugger has now has 14 RBI this month, the second most among International League hitters while reaching base in nine of 10 games played...since the calendar flipped to July, the veteran catcher leads International League hitters in average exit velocity (92.7) and hard-hit percentage (54.1%), while ranking fourth in slugging (.608), ninth in extra-base hits (15), and 10th in RBI (24)...(Min. 100 AB)... Adams is hitting .417 (5-for-12) with two long balls and seven RBI in three career games at ESL Ballpark against Charlotte.

TREY AND TRUE: 3B TREY LIPSCOMB scored a run on a single by teammate SAM PETERSEN, going 1-for-4 in yesterday's contest to extend his hit streak to 10 games...since it began on 8/2, Lipscomb is batting .354 (17-for-48) with an on-base percentage of .367 and slugging percentage of .646...among all qualified players in the International League this season, the versatile infielder ranks third in total bases (198), T-4th in home runs (22), T-5th fifth in RBI (69) and extra-base hits (44), and sixth in hits (109)...Lipscomb is the first Red Wing since Travis Blankenhorn in 2024 to turn in two separate hitting streaks of 10 games or more in the same season (10 G from 7/8-21).

RILEY OF THE CORN: RHP RILEY CORNELIO fired another 2.0 scoreless innings while striking out four in Thursday's loss...it was Cornelio's third straight appearance with two scoreless innings and eighth straight with at least three strikeouts, retaking the team-lead in that category with 88...Since 7/17, the hard-throwing reliever holds a 0.68 ERA (1 ER/13.1 IP), 0.98 WHIP, and 20 strikeouts in eight games between Washington and Triple-A Rochester...the former 2022 seventh-round pick holds the third-lowest WHIP on his slider (0.84), seventh in average fastball velocity (95.4 MPH), and 16th in fastball spin rate (2347 RPM) among International League pitchers (Min. 25 IP)... Cornelio hasn't allowed a run in 8.1 innings of work during night games at ESL Pallpark this season.

KEEPING IT GLASSY: LF PHILLIP GLASSER logged a walk in yesterday's game, making it 20-straight games of making it safely on base...this is tied for the longest on-base streak by a Red Wing this season (Andrew Pinckney, 5/9-6/5)...Glasser leads qualified Red Wings this season in on-base percentage (.381), ranks second in batting average (.293), fourth in walks (40), and fifth in OPS (.736)...since his on-base streak started on 7/22, the Ohio native is slashing .257/.441/.329 with eight RBI, including one triple...in that time, Glasser is T-3rd for most walks among all Minor Leaguers...

RED WINGS REWIND...2021: Five years ago today, six different Red Wings pitchers combined to hold Buffalo to just five hits in a 4-0 shutout victory at Sahlen Field...LHP BEN BRAYMER turned in the first 5.0 innings and picked up the win on the mound, allowing just a pair of hits before turning things over to the bullpen...DH DANIEL PALKA finished a triple shy of the cycle to pace the offense, while RF NICK BANKS launched his first Triple-A home run.
