DO THE DREW: Drew Butera's 2-run double in the 5th accounted for his first RBI since Opening Day, April 5 at Syracuse (Nationals).

EXTRA! EXTRA!: Tsuyoshi Nishioka's 5th-inning triple was his first extra-base hit of the year.

THE RIZZ: Matt Rizzotti went 2-for-4 for his 3rd multi-hit effort in his last 4 games.

BACK-TO-BACK JACKS: P.J. Walters surrendered back-to-back homers to Derrick Mitchell and Tuffy Gosewisch in the 3rd inning...that marked the first time the Red Wings have given up back-to-back homers since July 21, 2011, when Andrew Baldwin yield consecutive homers to Durham's (Rays) John Matulia and J.J. Furmaniak.

THAT'S TENSE: Fifteen of the Red Wings' 16 games have been decided by 3 runs or less.
