ROCHESTER NOTES

HAD US IN THE FIRST HALF, NOT GONNA LIE: The Rochester Red Wings wrapped up the first half of the season with a loss in the series finale against Omaha, finishing with a 34-39 record through the first 73 games...the Norfolk Tide were crowned first half champions (48-25) and will host the best of three games series in Las Vegas at the end of the regular season...

The second half will commence on Wednesday...the winner of the second half (best record from June through end of season) will face off against Norfolk...should the Tide also win the second half, the 2nd-best overall record would then take them on in Las Vegas.

WAY, WAY BACK: RF BLAKE RUTHERFORD's fourth-inning homer gives the Wings at least one home run in 21 of their last 25 games, dating back to 5/25 (27 total).

FILTHY RICH: SS RICHIE MARTIN drew a third-inning walk in today's loss to extend his team-leading on-base streak to 20 games (.271, 16-for-59 since 5/26)...this is tied for the third-longest active streak in the International League...

RAKE ALU: 3B JAKE ALU posted his 20th multi-hit performance of the season this afternoon, going 2-for-4 with an RBI in the loss...20 multi-hit games ties him with Darren Baker for the team lead...

Alu is hitting .354 (28-for-79) with a home run, six doubles, 18 RBI, and seven walks through 20 games this month.

EXTRA, EXTRA BASE HITS: DH MATT ADAMS went 1-for-4 with a double today, marking his third-straight game with an extra-base hit, extending his on-base streak to seven games (since 6/17)...

With 24 extra-base hits (11 HR, 13 2B), Adams trails only 1B TRAVIS BLANKENHORN (26) for the team lead.

JUST DREW IT: After drawing a walk in the second inning, C DREW MILLAS has now collected a free pass in eight consecutive games, dating back to 6/13, which is the longest active streak in the International League...eight-straight games with a walk is the longest streak by a Red Wing since John Andreoli in 2019 (11 G, 4/28-5/12).

BUILT (RUTHER)FORD TOUGH: RF BLAKE RUTHERFORD collected a pair of extra-base hits in the loss, going 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, an RBI and a run scored...the homer was his second of the season with Rochester, coming off the bat at 108.8 MPH...

The homer was Rutherford's hardest-hit ball at Triple-A since 4/17/22 against MEM, with CLT.

OMAHA NOTES

EARLY STORMS: The Storm Chasers scored two runs in the first inning, something they've done in at least one game in 11 of 12 series (min. six-game GWN 4/18-4/23)...

Omaha is tied for the most first-inning stolen bases in the International league (25, WOR).

‚¬â€¹CF JOHN RAVE extended his on-base streak to eight games in the contest, reaching in all eight of his games played with Omaha this year.
