A five-run 3rd did the trick as the Red Wings dropped their tenth straight game, 7-4 to the RailRiders.

Donovan Casey singled twice and scored a run while Dee Strange-Gordon walked and singled in his return.
Roster moves: RHP Cory Abbott recalled to Washington; UT Dee Strange-Gordon reassigned from the FCL.
