Over the last eight games since 8/12, Red Wings starters lead all Triple-A teams with a 3.00 ERA (15 ER/45.0 IP) and 0.93 WHIP, and lead all Minor League teams with 45.0 innings pitched.

DOUBLE TROUBLE: LF TREY LIPSCOMB made it back-to-back games with an RBI double in the fourth inning of Wednesday's contest, and finished 1-for-4 while adding a run scored...the Tennessee alum's 10th double of August gives him the most of any Triple-A batter this month, and tied for the second-most of any Minor League hitter...Lipscomb has picked up a hit in all six games he's played against Toledo in his professional career, dating back to 4/17/2024...

Lipscomb has turned in seven multi-hit games in August, tied with ANDRÉS CHAPARRO for most on the team.

KING JULIAN: In his first appearance as a Red Wing, RHP JULIAN FERNÁNDEZ came in with two outs in the top of the seventh and stranded two runners with a strikeout...he finished his outing allowing three earned on four hits across 1.0 inning, while striking out three and walking one...Fernandez became the 41st Red Wings pitcher to appear in a game this season and the 66th player overall.
