ROCHESTER AMERICAN GIANTS NOTES

SALUTE TO THE NEGRO LEAGUES: The Rochester Red Wings donned the Rochester American Giants jerseys tonight as part of the celebration of the Negro Leagues...The American Giants were Rochester's minor league Negro League team in the 1940s...Rochester has worn the Giants jersey the past two years and has a 0-2 record when wearing the retro threads...LHP Alberto Baldonado has suffered the loss in both games.

SHAQ AND KOBE: Wings leadoff hitter Andrew Stevenson has driven in fellow outfielder Matt Lipka twice tonight and four times this series...the duo is a combined 18-for-39 (.462) with a home run, two triples, two doubles, and seven RBI in the Syracuse series...with four stolen bases this series Lipka is 30-for-30 in stolen bases since August 13th, 2021 (70 games).

NOT ON GUSHUE'S WATCH: After allowing a season-high six stolen bases yesterday, catcher Taylor Gushue got the start tonight and did not give up a SB today against the Mets...the Mets were 0-for-1 today when attempting to steal. Gushue threw out Cody Bohanek at second base in the second inning.

HIS SHARPEST START: RHP Sterling Sharp records his first quality start since July 21, 2021 (vs. BUF)...Sharp went six innings, giving up just three earned runs while collecting five strikeouts...the righty has a 3.32 ERA (7 ER/19 IP) versus Syracuse this season (four starts)...his six innings pitched tonight was his longest start of the season...Rochester has lost in their last two quality starts, falling to 7-2 on the year when getting a QS.

SYRACUSE NOTES

HIGHEST IN THE ROOM: Travis Blankenhorn had four of Syracuse's five RBI tonight in the win v the Wings...with two out in the bottom of the seventh, Blankenhorn hit a two-RBI double to give the Mets a 5-4 lead...his two-run shot in the top of the 3rd was his second homer in as many games...the Syracuse clean-up hitter has reached base in 11 straight plate appearances going 8-for-8 with two homers and three doubles.
