The Wings dropped the series finale in Syracuse, 9-1, after being shut out for the first eight innings of play Sunday afternoon and look to bounce back tonight against the Buffalo Bisons.

The Red Wings bullpen locked down the final 4.1 innings Sunday afternoon, led by RHP Andres Machado, RHP Luis Reyes, RHP Jordan Weems, and RHP Odalvi Javier, who all logged a scoreless inning. In addition to those four relievers, LHP Alberto Baldonado secured the final out of the fifth inning, retiring the only batter he faced.

Game Notes

• RHP Cory Abbott gets the ball for the Red Wings tonight, hoping to get them back into the win column after dropping seven of their first eight games of the year. Abbott is responsible for the lone win Rochester has tallied after he delivered five innings of three-run ball last Wednesday in Syracuse. In 12 games with the Red Wings in 2022, Abbott worked to a 0-4 record with a 5.08 ERA striking out 34 in his 28.1 innings of work.
• The Wings have posted the fewest walks (20) in the first eight games of a season since they walked just 19 times to start the year in 2014. The 20 walks collected by the Rochester offense is the fewest in Triple-A baseball, five fewer than the next lowest total (JAX - 25). 3B Chad Pinder leads the squad with four walks.
• Rochester has scored one run in four separate games this season and has been shut out in two others, making it six with one or fewer runs. The 22 runs scored by the Red Wings this season ranks 36th among Minor League Baseball teams, including five teams that have played just three games this season at lower levels.
