AGAINST (C)ALL ODDS: CF ALEX CALL collected three walks yesterday to lead an offense that combined to draw eight...he has now collected three free passes in three different games this year, becoming the first Red Wing to do so since Daniel Palka walked four times each in three games in 2021.

This also marks the second time in 2024 Rochester has been held to one hit (4/14 at BUF).
