PLATES NOTES

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR: Rochester picked up their first win since 7/15 (vs. Omaha), snapping their franchise-record losing streak at 19 games...during their skid, starting on 7/16, the Wings were outscored 133-79 (-54), with three of the losses coming via shutout.

- During their 19-game losing streak, the Wings have scored five or more runs in a game nine times, and average 3.9 runs per game.

RAKE NOLL: DH Jake Noll collected his 50th RBI of the season in today's game with a first-inning single...the righty ranks second on the Wings this season in that category behind the recently promoted slugger Joey Meneses...since 7/1, Noll leads the squad in games played (29), hits (30), total bases (45), while ranking second in doubles (4) and RBI (14)...Noll finished the day 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and a run scored.

MY NAME'S NOT RICK: RHP Patrick Murphy got the start for Rochester in today's contest, his first starting nod since 8/24/2019 with Double-A New Hampshire (TOR)...Murphy pitched a season-high 3.0 innings while allowing an earned run on one hit, a first-inning homer by SS Jordan Westburg, striking out three batters in the process...this is the righty's first appearance since 7/15 that he has allowed one or fewer runners to reach base safely.

COR-VERRETT: In his first appearance since 7/28 (against Scranton/WB), RHP Logan Verrett came on in relief of starter Patrick Murphy...in 5.0 innings, the righty allowed three runs, one earned, on four hits while striking out four...in his last four outings dating back to 7/10, the Texas-native has an ERA of 1.29 (3 ER/21 IP) and a K/BB ratio of 15/1.

CALL OF DUTY: CF Alex Call went 2-for-3 with a double and a hit-by-pitch in today's game , having reached base safely seven times in his first three games as a Red Wing...the Ball State alumni has hit safely in six-straight games (7-for-20) dating back to 8/4 with Columbus...coming into today's contest, and between two teams (ROC & COL), the Minnesota-native's .419 OBP ranks second in all of the International League, behind only former Columbus teammate, OF Will Benson (.426)...the righty has now walked just twice less than he has struck out this season (51 BB/52 SO).

AIR JORDAN: In his first appearance with the Wings since being optioned by Washington on 8/7, RHP Jordan Weems pitched 1.0 inning, walking one and striking out two while earning his 12th save of the season...the righty's 12 saves rank fifth in the International League and first on the Wings squad.

TIDES NOTES

SUN SETS IN THE WEST-BURG: SS Jordan Westburg hit his ninth home run of the season in today's game...the righty's first-inning blast was his second solo shot and his seventh longball on the road this season...Norfolk has a record of 4-5 in games that Westburg goes deep.
