ROCHESTER, N.Y. - The Rochester Red Wings rode a six-run fifth inning to a 7-3 win over the Pawtucket Red Sox on Monday afternoon at Frontier Field in front of a Memorial Day crowd of 12,369 fans.

Pawtucket (19-29), which swept Friday's doubleheader and split Sunday's twin bill, still took the five-game series with the Red Wings (18-29) and went 4-4 on the eight-game road trip, which concluded with the PawSox playing three games in less than 23 hours.

Sam Travis socked a 395-foot solo homer in the top of the fourth inning to give Pawtucket a 1-0 lead, and the PawSox built a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth on a Cole Sturgeon RBI single, but the Red Wings scored six of the game's next seven runs to win the series finale.

PawSox starter Matthew Kent (L, 0-3) ceded seven runs in 4.1 innings, while right-handers Erasmo Ramírez (1.2 IP, 2 K) and Adam Lau (2 IP, 2 K) impressed in scoreless work down the stretch.

Rochester starter Kohl Stewart (W, 4-2) - the fourth overall pick in the 2013 MLB Draft - allowed just one earned run in six innings.

Following their eight-game road trip, the PawSox now return home to McCoy Stadium and open up a four-game series with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (Philadelphia Phillies) - beginning with a doubleheader Tuesday that begins at 4:05 p.m. Radio coverage on WHJJ (920 AM and 104.7 FM) and throughout the PawSox Radio Network begins with the pre-game show at 4:00 p.m.
