RHP Victor Santos (2-4, 5.35) vs. LHP MacKenzie Gore (ML-Rehab)
LET’S TRY THIS AGAIN: After yesterday’s series finale against Buffalo was canceled due to rain, the Wings secured another series win, now two in a row, after taking three out of five games against their thruway rival…prior to their series win against Lehigh Valley in the week prior, the Wings had not won a series since the first week of June…the Wings finished the year going 10-10 against Toronto’s top affiliate…Rochester returns home today and will send rehabbing lefty MacKenzie Gore to the mound to make his fourth start on this assignment…the lefty has worked 8.1 innings allowing one run on 10 hits while striking out six and walking 3…Gore logged 65 pitches in his most recent outing on 9/21 at Buffalo.
SMOOTH CRIMINAL: Rochester stole three bases Saturday after 3B Jake Alu, 1B John Nogowski, and LF Andrew Stevenson picked up one apiece…Stevenson’s bag marked his 39th of the year, putting him one away from being the first Wing to steal 40 bases since Dallas Williams stole 51 in 1981.
SMOOTH CRIMINAL(S): Rochester’s 153 stolen bases as a team is the franchise’s second most in a season, 27 off the record of 180 which they accomplished in 1944…
The Wings 12 stolen bases is the second most in a single series this season and is just one off the highest-series total of 13, which they did in their June series versus Syracuse….their 12 bags in five games put them on pace to record 14.5 stolen bases this series.
Yesterday’s game also marked the first time the Wings have stolen multiple bases while also being caught more than once in a game in a single contest.
CHASING HISTORY: LF Andrew Stevenson picked up a pair of hits in Saturday’s win, including a triple, collecting his 149th and 150th hits of the year…his second knock of the day marked him as being the first Wing to collect 150 hits since James Beresford collected 153 in 2015…
Should Stevenson continue at a pace of 1.3 hits/game, he would finish with 155 hits on the year, which would be the
most for a Wing in a single season since 2000 when Jose Herrera collected 160…should Stevenson exceed 160 hits this year, it would be the most since 1976 when Rich Dauer collected 176 in 132 games.
