JULY 12th ROCHESTER (8-9)/(53-37) at WORCESTER (8-9)/(44-44) 1:05 pm

Rochester Red Wings RHP Andry Lara (2-6, 5.97) vs. Worcester Red Sox RHP Seth Martinez (2-2, 5.98)

Wings to Go - The Worcester Red Sox face the Rochester Red Wings for the final time in 2026 when the clubs close out their 6-game series at Polar Park this afternoon at 1:05 pm. The WooSox - who lead this current set, 3 games to 2 - will not be too disappointed to see the Red Wings fly away until next year after today's series and season-series finale. Rochester leads the season-series 14 games to 7 with one game to go. The teams had two different scheduled games against each other cancelled due to rain. Today's finale - also the last game before the four-day All-Star break this Monday through Thursday - is live on NESN+ as well as on NASH 98.9 FM.

Ten-Pinned - After winning the first three games of this series, the WooSox have dropped the last two games giving up 10 runs in each. The Red Wings used 4 homers and 13 hits to roll yesterday, 10-3 after a 10-4 victory on Friday behind a 15-hit attack. Rochester has belted 12 HR in the first five games of this series and 37 HR in the 21 games of the season-series thus far. Worcester won each of the first three games including a doubleheader sweep on Wednesday, 5-4 and 10-2 along with an 8-7 victory on Thursday. The Sox - up 3 games to 2 in this current 6-game set - are 7-6-2 in their 15 series thus far...7 wins, 6 losses, and 2 splits.

You Never Know What You Are Going to See at Polar Park - This entertaining series has seen some rare baseball feats that fans don't often witness. During Wednesday's make-up doubleheader, the WooSox hit a grand slam (by Tyler McDonough) in their last at-bat to win Game 1 and then began Game 2 with a grand slam in the 1st inning (Brett Harris) to complete the sweep. On Thursday, the WooSox infield was able to turn their first-ever triple play at Polar Park (and the second triple play in WooSox history). With Rochester runners on 1st & 2nd base and on the move during a hit & run, Sox SS Nick Sogard made a leaping grab of a line drive and then tossed to second baseman Tyler McDonough to double up the lead runner who then threw to first baseman Mickey Gasper to complete the triple play. And on Friday night, Rochester third baseman Brady House hit for the cycle as the former 1st round draft pick of the Washington Nationals out of high school in Georgia (2021) tripled in the 1st-inning, doubled in the 3rd, homered in the 5th, and then singled off the Worcester Wall in rightfield leading off the 9th inning. Former WooSox and current Red Sox infielder Tsung-Che Cheng had the first cycle in WooSox history this past April 10th vs. Columbus at Polar Park.

What's Ahead - The WooSox and the entire International League join with all MLB teams to enjoy four straight off-days starting tomorrow (Monday) through this coming Thursday. Worcester will return to action after the break for a 3-game weekend series at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre from this Friday through Sunday (July 17-19). The WooSox will be back at Polar Park to take on the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (AAA-Miami) for a 6-game series from July 21-26. After today, Worcester will have 30 home games remaining this season along with 27 road games.

Even at Home and Away - The WooSox are 21-21 at home at Polar Park compared to 23-23 on the road.
