Banda collected 16 swings and misses last night, fourth-most among International League pitchers and two off the lead.

Martin's single snapped Rochester's 0-for-17 skid with runners in scoring position, dating back to 6/22.

ADAM BOMB: 1B MATT ADAMS launched a game-tying solo home run in the eighth, part of a 2-for-4 night at the plate...the homer was his 11th of the season, tying him with LF TRAVIS BLANKENHORN for the team lead...the lefty also logged his 13th double of the season in the win, and leads the team in total bases (102)...
