RED WINGS NOTES:
JACKED UP: RHP JACKSON RUTLEDGE took a no-hitter into the sixth and finished with 6.0 full, scoreless innings of work on just a pair of hits while striking out and walking four apiece...Rutledge did not allow an earned run in his final two starts of the season (13.0 IP), turning in back-to-back quality starts for the second time this season (6/16-22)...
The right-hander finishes his 2024 campaign with 128 total strikeouts, the most by any Red Wings pitcher since Alex Meyer struck out 153 in 2014.
CABAJOEY: 1B JOEY MENESES roped his 13th double with Rochester in the seventh inning tonight, and finished 2-for-3 with a double and a walk...the Mexico native has now turned in three-straight multi-hit games for the first time since 9/10-13 in 2022 with Washington...
He has 10 extra-base hits through 15 games in September, tied for fourth-most in the International League.
HAND CANNON: LF ANDREW PINCKNEY recorded his first Triple-A outfield assist, throwing out the would-be go-ahead run at the plate on a fly ball to left field...the throw home from the outfield clocked in at 102 MPH, the fifth-hardest throw by an International League outfielder this season.
ADAMS FAMILY: DH RILEY ADAMS extended his team-leading on-base streak to 16 games tonight, going 2-for-4 with a pair of singles...this is tied for the fifth-longest on-base streak by a Red Wing this season and is the longest by a Rochester catcher since Mitch Garver in 2017 (19 G, 6/15-7/5).
CUBS NOTES:
BRANDON THE BUILDER: RHP BRANDON BIRDSELL turned in Triple-A best 7.0 innings pitched tonight, and allowed no runs on just five hits while striking out a career-high 10 batters and walking one...this is the second time in his professional career that he's turned in 7.0 full innings (7/1 with TNS), and marks the longest scoreless start of his professional career.
