The Rochester Red Wings dropped last night's contest to Worcester in the bottom of the ninth for a second straight game, falling after being up 8-2 at one point.

The Rochester Red Wings knocked in five first-inning runs thanks to seven hits, including a pair of doubles from C Riley Adams and 2B Adrian Sanchez, part of a two-double day for Sanchez. The bottom of Rochester's lineup accounted for nine hits and seven RBI, including multi-hit efforts from 3B Jake Alu, RF Nick Banks, 2B Adrian Sanchez, and SS Jecksson Flores.

Starter RHP Joan Adon worked four innings surrendering three runs, all earned, on four hits while walking and striking out five. Th Rochester Red Wings bullpen would cover the remaining five innings with only RHP Connor Sadzeck coming out clean, working a perfect 0.2 innings of work.

RHP Franklyn Kilome, coming off his five hitless innings, will get the ball for the Wings as they look to even the series at two games apiece.

The Red Wings dropped their Thursday matchup, their best day of the week, for just the sixth time this year. The Red Wings currently hold a record of 13-6 on Thursdays.

  • The Wings kept their Thursday trends rolling, scoring eight runs yesterday, which brought their Thursday run total to 122, which is good for second among all IL teams.
  • Their 13 hits add to their Thursday total of 195, which is tied for 1st in IL (Durham)
  • The Wings' Thursday SLG mark of .438 is good enough for second in the IL...the Wings don't rank higher than 10th on any other day of the week.

Tonight...

Rochester sends RHP Franklyn Kilome to the mound, hoping to even the series at two. In Kilome's previous outing on August 12 against Norfolk, the former New York Met delivered five hitless innings, striking out eight to his second win in a Wings uniform this season. In two starts with Rochester on Friday this season, the Dominican Republic-native has accumulated a 0.84 ERA in 10.2 innings, allowing just one earned run.
