JACOB NOTTING-HAMMER: DH JACOB NOTTINGHAM launched his second home run with Rochester (eighth of 2023), a game-tying two-run shot that was part of a 2-for-3 day, adding a double, four RBI and a pair of runs scored to his line...this marked his first two-run home run since 4/19 (vs. ELP) with Tacoma...this marked his first multi-hit game with the Wings (last on 6/14, with SAC) and first game with two extra-base hits since 4/19 with Tacoma...

The homer came off of Durham LHP Jacob Lopez...30% (28) of the Wings' 92 homers this season have come off left-handed pitching.
