MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Memphis Redbirds continued a six-game road trip against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Triple-A, Miami Marlins) with a 9-8 walk-off loss on Wednesday night at VyStar Ballpark.

Memphis entered the bottom of ninth inning with a 7-1 lead. Jacksonville used two walks, five hits, a wild pitch and a game-tying home run to complete the comeback.

The six-run blown lead is the largest blown lead in a loss for Memphis in 2025.

Torres leads the International League in OBP by 21 points with a .441 mark. Torres pushed his hit streak to eight straight games, including three consecutive three-hit games. The utility man has posted a multi-hit effort in seven of his last 10 games.

Starting pitcher Aaron Wilkerson allowed one run on six hits, walked one and struck out six across 4.2 innings pitched. The right-handed pitcher took the International League lead in innings pitched with 142.2 on the season. Wilkerson also steadied his league-leading WHIP, which finished Wednesday at 1.10.
