RED WINGS NOTES:

SOLO DOLO: The Red Wings' offense combined to launch a season-high five home runs this afternoon, all solo shots...this is Rochester's first game with five solo home runs since at least 2005 and first game with five home runs at Innovative Field since 4/13/2019 vs. Lehigh Valley...

Four of the five homers came off Mud Hens starting pitcher RHP Austin Bergner, the first time Rochester has homered four times against the same pitcher since 6/6/2021 at Worcester, off LHP Kyle Hart.

TRAVIS BLANKENFOUR: RF TRAVIS BLANKENHORN homered twice for the first time since game one of a doubleheader on 7/6/2022 (with SYR) this afternoon, going 2-for-3 with the two solo shots and a walk...the homers were his team-leading fifth and sixth of the season, the first of which was a 435-foot blast that 2B JAKE ALU later tied for the farthest home run a Red Wing has hit this season...Blankenhorn has collected 10 extra-base hits over his last nine games since game one of a doubleheader on 4/13 at Buffalo, most in the International League over that span...

Blankenhorn is the first Red Wing to homer in three-straight games since Matt Adams also homered four times in three games from 4/5-8 in 2023.

He is now one of 11 players in the IL with at least six home runs this season.

RAISE A HULLABALU: 2B JAKE ALU connected on his first home run of the season this afternoon, a solo shot that kicked off a 1-for-4 day at the plate...after doubling in the contest Saturday, he has now notched an extra-base hit in back-to-back games after collecting one through his first 13 games...

Alu is the sixth Red Wing to homer this season.

Of his 39 career home runs (MiLB & MLB), 30 have come against right-handed pitching.

CALL STREET JOURNAL: CF ALEX CALL smashed a 361-foot, line drive home run into the left field terrace next to the visitor's bullpen, part of a 1-for-3 day at the plate that included a walk...this comes a day after the Ball State alum launched the Red Wings' first grand slam of the season, the first time he has homered in back-to-back games since doing so on September 8 & 9 in 2022...

This is the first time in Call's professional career that he's hit five home runs by the end of April.

JUAN SOLO (HOMER): 1B JUAN YEPEZ moved into third place on the team in home runs today after connecting on his fourth of the season, part of a 2-for-5 day at the plate...this was his sixth multi-hit game of the season, tied with DH JAMES WOOD for second-most on the team behind RF TRAVIS BLANKENHORN (7)...

In April, Yepez ranks third on the team in multiple offensive categories, including RBI (11), hits (15), and walks (10).

MUD HENS NOTES:

DARTH VILADER: CF RYAN VILADE continued his success at the plate against Rochester in the series finale, going 3-for-4 with a run scored, two doubles, two RBI, and one walk...Vilade went 7-for-18 overall in the series with two doubles, two home runs, nine RBI, and two stolen bases...

In 11 career games against the Red Wings, the Texas native owns a .477 batting average (21-for-44) with three home runs, five doubles, and 18 RBI.

THE ANTI-HIURA: 1B KESTON HIURA collected four hits in today's contest, going 4-for-5 with four singles and two runs scored...after three base knocks yesterday, this marks the first time Hiura has posted seven hits in two games since 5/30 & 5/31 in 2018, as a member of Single-A Advanced Carolina (MIL)...

The UC Irvine product drove in six RBI in the series and is tied with CF RYAN VILADE for the second-most RBI on the team this season (12), trailing only 3B JACE JUNG (17).
