The Red Wings split their doubleheader with the Syracuse Mets Wednesday night.
Rochester hit three home runs in the opener in a 9-4 win but lost a late lead in the nightcap to fall 7-5.

The Mets answered right back with two in the bottom of the fifth inning to retake the lead which they would not relinquish.
The Wings and Mets continue their week-long series Thursday night at 6:35.
