DON'T LET THE HORN GET HOT: DH TRAVIS BLANKENHORN collected a pair of hits for the second-straight game Sunday afternoon, going 2-for-5 with a double, his third two-bagger in his last two games...he now leads the team with 19 doubles and has clubbed 39 extra-base hits this season, tied for fourth-most in the International League with Norfolk's Coby Mayo.
LIND-SANITY: C BRADY LINDSLY became the sixth Red Wing with 10 doubles on Sunday afternoon, going 2-for-4 while adding an RBI in the series finale...the lefty catcher is now hitting .264 (39-for-148) this season, which is 10th-best among International League catchers with at least 125 at-bats...
With runners on base, Lindsly carries a .303 line (23-for-76) which is third-best among active players on the team (min. 50 at-bats).
THE TICE IS RIGHT: RHP TY TICE turned in his second-straight scoreless appearance on Sunday, tossing a clean inning while walking two and striking out one...through his first three appearances with Rochester, the Arkansas native is holding opponents to just a .143 batting average with a WHIP of 1.00.
