HENS IN THE COOP: The Rochester Red Wings came away victorious in their contest against the Toledo Mud Hens last night, 2-0...DH TRAVIS BLANKENHORN collected three hits in the game, including a two-run homer that accounted for the only runs of the night for either side...RHP JOAN ADON tossed the first 5.0 innings with six strikeouts before handing the ball to RHP AMOS WILLINGHAM, who threw 1.1 scoreless innings of his own...RHP JACOB BARNES closed the door with 2.0 hitless innings to preserve the shutout, earning his first save of the season...Rochester looks to take a 2-0 series lead this afternoon, sending RHP JACKSON RUTLEDGE to the mound against Mud Hens RHP Keider Montero.

TOOTIN' HIS OWN BLANKENHORN: DH TRAVIS BLANKENHORN launched his second home run of the season last night, first at Innovative Field this year...the homer was a two-run shot that came off the bat at 91.7 MPH and traveled 336 feet...Blankenhorn finished the game 3-for-4 with a homer, double, and two RBI, marking his first game with multiple extra-base hits since 8/10/2023 vs. LHV...

He has now collected an extra-base hit in three of the last four games and a hit in eight of the last nine.

The homer marks both the shortest distance and lowest exit velocity on a home run by a Red Wing over the last two seasons.

I TRIPLE DOG DARREN YOU: 2B DARREN BAKER led off the third inning with a line drive triple, the Red Wings' second three-bagger of the season and Baker's first since 8/24/2023 against Worcester...the lefty finished the game with a 1-for-5 line with a run scored, and has now reached base in six consecutive games...

Across eight games in April, Baker is hitting .310 (9-for-29) with six RBI, five runs scored, and four stolen bases.

CLOSE THE BARNES DOOR: RHP JACOB BARNES tossed a hitless eighth and ninth inning last night, earning his first save of the season while striking out and walking one...he has yet to allow an earned run across his six appearances this season, tied for the second-longest streak in the International League...

Barnes is one of 10 relievers in the IL with a 0.00 ERA this season (min. 7.0 IP).

NO, YOU ADON'T: RHP JOAN ADON made the start on the mound for the Red Wings last night and tossed 5.0 scoreless innings on just two hits while striking out six and walking three...this marks the first scoreless start of at least 5.0 innings by a Rochester pitcher since RHP Cory Abbott on 9/12/2023 vs. LHV, and the first time Adon has done so since 8/25/2023 at Miami, with Washington (6.0 IP)...

5.0 innings pitched ties RHP JACKSON RUTLEDGE (3/31 at SYR) for most by a Wings starter this season.

(KIE)BOOM, (KIE)BOOM, POW: 3B CARTER KIEBOOM reached base three times last night, going 1-for-2 with a pair of walks...he has now reached safely in each of the 10 games he has appeared in this season, the longest active on-base streak on the team...he posts an on-base percentage of .488 this season, best on the team and eighth-best in the International League.

THEY CALL ME ZERO: The Rochester Red Wings shut out the Toledo Mud Hens on Tuesday night, their first since 6/18/2023 vs. SWB...four Wings pitchers combined to hold the Mud Hens offense to just five hits, tied for the fewest pitchers used in a shutout since 7/10/2022 at LHV (3 pitchers)...
