FRESNO, California - Randy Arozarena led off the game with a home run, and the Memphis Redbirds did not look back from there in a 12-3 win in the series opener at the Fresno Grizzlies (Nationals) Saturday night in Fresno, Calif.

Memphis (53-65) smacked five home runs in the win, with Harrison Bader going deep twice. Ramon Urias and Adolis Garcia also had long balls in addition to Arozarena and Bader. The five home runs matched a season high for the Redbirds.

Bader's home runs were a three-run shot in the fifth inning and a two-run bomb in the sixth. In addition to his five RBI, he also was hit by two pitches, walked, and stole a base. Arozarena finished 3-for-5 with a walk and three runs scored, and Garcia had a double in addition to his 25th homer of the season.

Arozarena has reached base in 36-straight starts.

Along with his first-inning home run, Urias walked twice and finished 2-for-3. Justin Williams had a pinch-hit two-run double, extending his hitting streak to seven games.

Jake Woodford got the victory with a quality start, allowing two runs on five hits in 6.0 innings. He struck out six and walked two. Zac Rosscup, Jesus Cruz, and Kodi Whitley finished the game for the Redbirds, who have scored 27 runs on 29 hits in their last two games.
