SMOOTH CRIMINAL: 2B DARREN BAKER swiped second in the bottom of the first inning, marking his 73rd career stolen base at the Triple-A level...the California alum now holds sole possession of third place in Red Wings franchise history in that category, 11 behind Damon Buford (84, 1992-95, 2001)...Baker also drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the fifth, his 21st RBI of the year...

Over the course of his six-game hitting streak (since 6/20), the Tennessee alumnus has turned in four multi-hit performances and boasts a batting average of .409 (9-for-22) with a .727 SLG.

The former Miami Marlins second-round pick is the 18th Red Wing to homer this season.
DUBBLE BUBBLE: With a 6-4-3 double play in the top of the seventh, the Wings notched their eighth straight game with a double play...the last time the Wings had eight straight games with a twin-killing was 6/27-7/3 in 2024 vs. Indianapolis and at Buffalo.
OBI-JUAN KENOBI: DH JUAN YEPEZ turned in a 2-for-3 performance at the plate last night, driving in the go-ahead run in the fourth inning...Yepez, playing in his first game with the Red Wings since 6/15 vs. Jacksonville, drove in his first RBI since 6/5 at Worcester...Friday night also marked the first time the Venezuela native has logged two hits since the day prior, 6/4 at Worcester...
