SERIES WIN(G)S: The Red Wings beat Scranton/WB, 3-0, Sunday afternoon in the series finale to give Rochester the series victory...this marks the third series win in their last four matchups and moves their record to 6-6 in six-game sets...

The Wings are now 4-0 at Innovative Field in a six-game series this season.

THE ROCHESTER FAITHFUL: A night after the Red Wings saw 10,811 fans enter the gates, their largest crowd since 2019, 10,090 Rochester faithful filed through the turnstiles for the Father's Day matinee...this marked the first time back-to-back crowds of at least 10,000 have gathered at Innovative Field since 6/3-4/22...

Through 31 home games in 2023, Rochester has announced nine crowds above the 8,000 mark...since Innovative Field opened in 1997, no season has seen more than six crowds over 8,000 through the first 31 home games.

WAKE & BLAKE: In his second game since being transferred from Double-A Harrisburg on 6/17, LF BLAKE RUTHERFORD went 3-for-4 with three singles...the California native has gone 4-for-8 (.500) with a home run and a pair of RBI in his first two games with the Wings...

This was his first three-hit game at the Triple-A level since 9/24/22 at JAX, with CLT.

BIG BANDA BRAND: Wings LHP ANTHONY BANDA tossed 3.2 scoreless innings in today's win, holding the RailRiders to just one hit while striking out three and walking three...this was the Texas native's first scoreless start with at least 3.0 innings pitched since 5/23/21 against Reno as a member of Sacramento (SF)...

With Rochester, Banda boasts a 4.91 ERA (6 ER/11.0 IP) across his four starts, versus a 9.90 ERA (11 ER/10.0 IP) in nine relief appearances.

Rochester is now 4-0 in games that Banda starts.

RICHIE HENDERSON: SS RICHIE MARTIN went 1-for-3 this afternoon, adding two RBI and a stolen base to his line to extend his on-base streak to 15 games (.267, 12-for-45, since 5/26)...this was Martin's first multi-RBI game since 5/17 at BUF, and his fourth of the season...

The stolen base was his 18th of the season, which is eighth-most in the International League.
