LHP Brandon Walter (1-5, 5.05) vs. RHP Roddery Muñoz (0-2, 8.83)

SUMMERTIME SADNESS: The Rochester Red Wings dropped the fifth of a six-game set against Worcester last night, 6-3...CF CODY WILSON picked up a pair of hits for the second-straight night, while SS RICHIE MARTIN logged a multi-hit effort of his own...RHP LUIS CESSA logged his longest scoreless relief appearance of the season of RHP JACKSON RUTLEDGE, who tied a season-high with seven strikeouts...Rochester looks to salvage a series split this afternoon, as RHP RODDERY MUÑOZ and WooSox LHP Brandon Walter square off for the second time this series.

OK, THAT'S HISTORIC: After scoring in the eighth inning last night, the Wings have now scored a run in 115 straight games dating back to 4/8-G2 in Syracuse...this marks the longest streak in the International League this season, 52 games ahead of second place (JAX, 73)...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 at least 1997....

Rochester has been shut out just twice this season (4/4, 4/8-G2), 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.

HIT ME BRADY ONE MORE TIME: C BRADY LINDSLY extended his hit streak to three games last night (.300, 3-for-10 since 8/24), going 1-for-3 with a walk...this was the first three-game hitting streak for the Dallas native since 8/2-8/9 with Harrisburg, when he went 6-for-12 with a double, an RBI, one walk, and three runs scored (streak would also end at three games)

LUIS CESS(N)A: RHP LUIS CESSA came on in relief yesterday, tossing 2.0 scoreless innings of one hit baseball with three strikeouts...this is the first time since 8/15/2022 vs. Philadelphia with Cincinnati that Cessa has logged a scoreless relief appearance of at least 2.0 innings.

AGENT CODY WILSON: CF CODY WILSON went 2-for-4 with two RBI in last night's game...his two hit effort tonight was his first consecutive multi-hit games since 5/11-5/12 vs Worcester when he went 4-for-8, with two home runs, seven RBI, and three runs scored...

This is the ninth time in Wilson's five year, 304 game career he has had back-to-back multi-hit games.

RED FLAG ON THE FIELD: Rochester went a perfect 5-for-5 in ABS challenges last night after going 4-for-4 Friday...nine consecutive overturned challenges through two games is a season-high for the Wings.

JACKED UP: RHP JACKSON RUTLEDGE made the start for Rochester last night, allowing four earned on five hits through 5.0 innings of work, while tying a season-high with seven strikeouts...the Missouri native has now logged at least 5.0 innings pitched in four of his five starts in August...

Rutledge accounted for 34 of the 40 hardest-thrown pitches last night, topping out at 97 MPH.

RICHIE RICH: SS RICHIE MARTIN logged a pair of hits in last night's contest, going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored...he has now hit safely in four of the five games in the series, going 6-for-18 (.333) with a home run, a double and four RBI...

Martin is now hitting .333 (13-for-39) over his last 12 games since 8/11, after going 4-for-31 (.129) in the first nine games of August (8/1-10).
