MEMPHIS, TN - Memphis shutout Tacoma 1-0 Sunday afternoon at AutoZone Park behind strong pitching and a late home run.

Redbirds starter P.J. Walters and Rainiers starter Luke French battled to a scoreless tie through seven innings until Amaury Cazana led off the eighth inning with a solo home run to left-center field. Walters turned in seven scoreless innings before departing and French tossed a complete game in taking the loss. French scattered three hits and fanned five in his first loss of the year. Rich Hill picked up the win with one inning of relief work and Fernando Salas worked around a Tommy Everidge single in the ninth to earn his fifth save.
