MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Memphis Redbirds continued a 12-game road trip and six-game series with a 4-3 loss at the Omaha Storm Chasers (Triple-A, Kansas City) on Wednesday night at Werner Park in Omaha.
Memphis snagged the lead in the top of the first inning on a second baseman Cesar Prieto RBI single. Prieto was named St. Louis Cardinals Minor League Player of the Month earlier today for his work in May.

The right-handed pitcher allowed two runs on one hit, walked two and struck out three in 3.0-plus innings of work. The only hit Kloffenstein allowed was a solo home run in the fourth inning.
Relievers Brandon Komar, Kolton Ingram and Ryan Loutos combined to fill the next 5.0 innings and did not allow a run. The group combined to strike out eight, walked just one and allowed two hits. Connor Thomas (2-2) allowed the winning run to score with two outs in the ninth inning.
