Durham, NC - The Durham Bulls hit five home runs en route to a series-opening win over the Memphis Redbirds 11-6 at the DBAP on Tuesday night.
Jake Mangum drilled a grand slam in the first inning to start the power play, with Osleivis Basabe crunching a three-run shot in the second. Bob Seymour homered twice, while CJ Hinojosa smacked a solo shot in the second to lift the Bulls (13-15) to their third straight win. All five homers were off of Memphis starter Ian Bedell (L, 2-2).
Richard Lovelady (W, 2-2) worked two innings to earn the win in his seventh rehab appearance for the Tampa Bay Rays. Three Durham relievers combined to retire the final 10 Memphis (11-17) batters, including Cole Sulser, who tossed two perfect innings in his first game since being re-acquired by the Rays.
