MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Memphis Redbirds finished a six-game homestand against the Rochester Red Wings (Triple-A, Washington Nationals) with a 12-11 win on Sunday afternoon at AutoZone Park.
Memphis found itself in a 7-0 hole after the top of the fifth inning. The Redbirds went on to rally for seven runs in the frame on five hits and three walks. First baseman Matt Lloyd jolted the group with a leadoff home run. Second baseman Bryan Torres later smacked a two-run double. Shortstop Cesar Prieto followed with an RBI single. Memphis pushed across its final three runs of the inning with two walks and a sacrifice fly.
