RED WINGS NOTES: REACH FOR THE SKYYYY: CF JAMES WOOD extended his on-base streak to 25 games with a two-RBI single in the bottom of the third, finishing 2-for-4 while adding a walk...this is the longest on-base streak by any player in the International League this season, and longest by a Red Wing since TRAVIS BLANKENHORN reached in 26-straight from 5/4-6/10 in 2023...
Wood averages 94.6 MPH on all batted balls this season, sixth-best among all MLB and Triple-A players (min. 100 AB).
Since the streak began on 4/20 against Toledo, Wood is reaching base at a .469 clip, second-best in the IL over that span.
WALK (OFF) WITH ME: The Rochester Red Wings walked off to win their second series of the season this afternoon after SS ERICK MEJIA drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 11th...this was their third walk-off win of the season, and first walk-off walk since 8/10/2019 against Louisville (CIN)...
This was Mejia's ninth career walk-off and first since 6/30/2022 against Salt Lake (LAA) with Triple-A Tacoma (SEA).
FORGOT ABOUT TREY: 3B TREY LIPSCOMB doubled in the bottom of the fourth to push his hitting streak to six games, finishing 2-for-5 with a pair of two-baggers while adding an RBI and run scored...the righty has now hit base safely each of the six games he has played with Rochester this season...
This is the first time Lipscomb has laced two doubles in a game since 8/17/2023 with Double-A Harrisburg.
THE STORY OF ADIDON: RHP ADONIS MEDINA turned in his sixth consecutive scoreless outing this afternoon, going 1.1 hitless innings while striking out two and only walking one...this is the longest active scoreless appearance streak by a Red Wing and is his second streak of at least four consecutive scoreless games this season...
The right-hander's 1.33 ERA (3 ER/19.0 IP) is the best on Rochester's staff (min. 10.0 IP)...he has not allowed a run in the month of May over 8.1 innings in six appearances.
BISONS NOTES: LUKES OF HAZARD: LF NATHAN LUKES finished the series with a hit in four of the five games he's played this series, ending the game 1-for-5...the former Cleveland Guardian draft pick hit .435 (10-for-23) over the course of the week, highlighted by a six-hit performance on Wednesday...
Lukes carries a batting average of .350 (42-for-120) in 30 games played, fourth-best in the International League.
