RED WINGS NOTES:
THAT'S ALL, FOLKS: With the 11-inning loss to Iowa in the season finale, the Red Wings finished the season with a 77-71 record, their most wins in a season since 2017 (80-62)...the offense accumulated 622 total walks this season, most by a Red Wings team since they walked 623 times in 1983...
This is the 11th time in Rochester's 96-year history in affiliated baseball that they have missed the postseason with at least 77 wins.
TAKE A SEAT: The Red Wings pitching staff struck out a season-high 16 batters this afternoon, their most in a single game at Innovative Field since 4/28/2023 against St. Paul...Rochester pitching owns the most strikeouts (105) among all Triple-A teams in September.
ALVA-RISE: LHP ANDREW ALVAREZ set a Triple-A best with 10 strikeouts this afternoon, just one shy of his career-high set on 8/12/2023 at Bowling Green with High-A Wilmington...the southpaw turned in 5.0 full innings and allowed two earned on six hits with one walk...he is the first Red Wings pitcher to strike out double-digit batters in a regular season finale since at least 2004, and joins LHP DJ HERZ (10 on 5/30 vs. STP) as the only Rochester pitchers to strike out at least 10 batters this season.
DAISON 'EM UP: RHP DAISON ACOSTA turned in a hitless inning of relief today while striking out and walking a batter...the right-hander did not allow an earned run through his first four Triple-A appearances across 5.2 innings pitched, and allowed just three hits while striking out nine batters...
Acosta's combined 2.61 ERA (17 ER/58.2 IP) is the lowest of his nine-year professional career (min. 20.0 IP).
CUBS NOTES:
OWE'D TO JOY: RF OWEN CAISSIE finished the season with three consecutive multi-hit games, capped off by a 2-for-5 performance in the finale...this is the first time he's turned in three-straight multi-hit games since 8/25-28...he finished the series with eight hits in 26 at-bats (.308) across all six games.
