RED WINGS NOTES

HIT 'EM UP: The Rochester Red Wings recorded a season-high 22 hits in today's game, four more than their previous high of 18, which came on 4/16 vs. Buffalo...the Wings were led by four-hit games from 2B Jake Alu, and DH Onix Vega... all nine starters collected at least one hit and seven of nine collected multiple hits.

​The last time all nine starters recorded a base hit was 8/18 against Worcester.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGA-S STAYS IN VEGA-S: Recently promoted C Onix Vega made his Triple-A debut in today's game becoming the 78th player to make an appearance in a Red Wings' uniform this season, surpassing last year's record of 77 players...the righty went 4-for-5 with three RBI, recording the first four-hit game of his career in his first game above High-A.

RAKE ALU: 3B Jake Alu hit a three-run home run in the first inning, his 10th with the Red Wings and his 19th of the season between Rochester and Double-A Harrisburg...the lefty has now reached base safely in 13-straight games dating back to 9/4 and has picked up multiple hits in seven of those 13 games.

​​The Boston College alum finished the game 4-for-6 with a home run, a triple, four RBI, and two runs scored...just a double away from becoming the first Red Wing since Michael Restovich on 5/8/2004 to hit for the cycle...Alu was thrown out after coming off the bag at second base in his final at-bat trying to a double.

During his on-base streak, Alu leads all Wings in hits (22), home runs (6), RBI (19), and runs scored (12).

WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY: SS Lucius Fox recorded the first RBI of the night for the Red Wings, picking up a double in the first inning and extending his on-base streak to 13 games...the switch-hitter would finish the night 2-for-6 with a double, an RBI, and two runs scored.

​Since returning from the Injured List on 8/20, Fox leads the team in stolen bases (8), is second in walks (11) and RBI (17).

THE BIG NOGOWSKI: 1B John Nogowski walked in the first inning of today's game, finishing the contest 1-for-3 with a double, two runs, and three walks...since joining the team on 8/3, the righty leads the squad in doubles (11) and walks (29) while ranking second in runs (25) and third in hits (43).

​Nogowski leads all Red Wings (min. 20 AB) in OBP at .410 while walking more than he strikes out (29 BB/21 SO).

Has walked 10 times in his last six games, recording multiple walks in four of six.

ANDREW TRIPLE-SON: CF Andrew Stevenson led off the game with a triple in the first inning...this was the lefty's eighth three-bagger of the season, tying him with Indianapolis OF Travis Swaggerty for second in the International League...Stevenson would finish the game 3-for-6 with a triple, and a run scored, recording his team-leading 42nd multi-hit performance of the season.

​Stevenson stole his team-high 33rd base of the season, tying him for fourth in the International League OF Delino DeShields (GWN) and Oswald Peraza (SWB).

THE MURPH: RHP Patrick Murphy allowed just one earned run, giving up five hits and striking out a season-best seven batters in a season-high five innings...his last start with seven or more punch outs came on 5/15/19 with Double-A New Hampshire...excluding his start on 9/7 vs. Syracuse where he gave up six earned runs, Murphy has pitched to a 2.18 ERA in 20.2 innings (5 ER) in his seven starts this season.

IRONPIGS NOTES

BONAFA-SEEYA: RF Jorge Bonafacio hit his 13th home run of the season in today's game...this marks his second home run of the month, and his first since 9/1 against Norfolk...the righty ranks second on the IronPigs this season in long balls behind only 1B Darick Hall.
