Following a rain delay that lasted for just over an hour, the Rochester Red Wings dropped a tight contest on Tuesday night to the Toledo Mud Hens, 2-1. A pitcher's duel through and through, LHP Jackson Kent struck out six in 4.2 innings pitched, and Rochester’s bullpen didn’t allow a run in 4.1 innings of work. The Red Wings' one bright spot at the plate was 2B Trey Lipscomb’s sixth-inning solo homer, his 12th of the season.

Toledo struck first in the top half of the third, when SS Andrew Navigato smashed a laser over the left field fence to give the Mud Hens a one-run advantage.
Navigato continued his big night by leading off the fifth with a single, advancing on a stolen base, and later scoring on a bloop single by LF Ben Malgeri to make it 2-0 Toledo.
Rochester finally broke through after four no-hit innings, in the bottom of the sixth, as Lipscomb crushed a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth. The solo shot traveled 420 feet and left the bat at 108.2 mph, cutting into the deficit to one.
Coming to the plate still down by a run in the bottom of the ninth, the Red Wings could not rally, as a strikeout, popout, and flyout ended the game by a run.
