SWIPER NO SWIPING: The Red Wings, as a team, have the fourth most stolen bases (34) among International League teams...this comes as the Wings have also been caught the fewest amount of times, failing just three times...through the same number of games, the 2021 team had just eight stolen bases and were caught three times...Outfielder Andrew Stevenson leads the team with 11 swipes and is just one away from the International League lead, trailing just Buffalo's Samad Taylor with 12.

HOTLINE BLING: The Red Wings bullpen continues to be a force when the phone rings, compiling 28 innings of work through the series against Scranton...the 'pen allowed just one earned run in the series on nine hits and six walks...the Rochester bullpen now ranks third in Triple-A for earned run average, posting a 3.02 ERA through the first five series, despite posting 18 more innings than the club in first , and 33 more innings than the club in second...the 'pen also ranks third in wins amongst Triple-A teams with a 13-3 record.

3-HEADED MONSTER: The Wings continue to be one of the most dangerous teams in the International League at the plate, ranking second in team batting average with the clubhouse posting a .269 average...Nick Banks ranks third in the International League with a .355 batting average (27-for-76), with Luis Garcia ranking fourth (.352, 37-for-105), and Joey Meneses ranking 12th with a .321 batting average (36-for-112)...Rochester and Jacksonville are the only two clubs to have three hitters rank in the top-15 for batting average across the International League.

NOT ONE, NOT TWO...: Right-hander Carl Edwards Jr. earned three saves in the previous series against Scranton/WB...this is the first time a Wings' pitcher has earned a trifecta of saves in a single series since Anthony Slama in 2010 (at Columbus, 6/8-11)...Edwards Jr. has also retired the last 15 batters he's faced (26 of last 28) en route to a 0.63 ERA through his first 13 appearances.

NOT EASY ON THE HEART: Rochester improved their one-run-game record against Scranton, elevating it to 6-2 on the season...although they are ranked second in the league in terms of W/L, the Wings rank sixth in the International League East for run differential standing at a +7 run differential compared to Nashville who leads the International League West at +58.

APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS: After finishing the month of April with a 5.53 earned run average, which ranked 17th out of 20 teams in the International League, Wings' pitchers have found their stride, posting an IL-leading 2.14 ERA through the first seven games of May...the staff also leads the league in batting average against (.191)...the strong pitching has helped the Red Wings get off to a 6-1 start in the second month of the season.
