PCL1 Memphis Redbirds

Offense Thrills as Redbirds Complete Sweep

August 2, 2019 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Memphis Redbirds News Release


MEMPHIS, Tennessee - The Memphis Redbirds scored seven runs in the sixth inning and three more in the seventh to turn a 6-3 deficit into a 13-6 lead on their way to a 13-8 win over the Albuquerque Isotopes (Rockies) Thursday night at AutoZone Park.

Memphis (48-62) swept the Isotopes (45-65) in the three-game series and has won 10 of its last 13 games.

Rehabbing St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, and five RBI. He was on base five times including a walk and a hit by pitch. Fellow Cardinal Matt Carpenter, also on an injury rehabilitation assignment, went 2-for-3 with a double and three RBI before being lifted.

Harrison Bader, recently optioned by St. Louis, was 2-for-5 with a walk and two runs scored, and he also made a diving catch in the outfield. Randy Arozarena was on base four times and has now reached base in 30-straight starts.

In the decisive sixth inning, the Redbirds sent 12 men to the plate and scored seven times on five hits. They took advantage of four walks in the inning, and the big blow was Ozuna's three-run blast to left-center field. Memphis sent nine more to the dish in the seventh and scored three more times.

In three games with Memphis, Ozuna is 4-for-9 (.444) with a double, a home run, six RBI, three runs scored and two walks.

The game took 4:07 to play, which is the second-long nine-inning game in franchise history. It was two minutes shy of a 4:09 game on June 15, 2013, also against Albuquerque.

The Redbirds now turn their attention to the El Paso Chihuahuas (Padres), who are in town through Monday night.
