MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Memphis Redbirds secured a series victory with a 3-2 win in game two of a three-game series on Saturday night at the Gwinnett Stripers (Triple-A, Atlanta Braves).

Through 9.2 innings to start the season, the Redbirds bullpen has not allowed a run. Skylar Hales (S, 1) worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the ninth to nail down the save.

First baseman Blaze Jordan led the Memphis offense with a three-hit night. The right-handed hitter put the Redbirds in front with an RBI single in the sixth. Center fielder Joshua Báez and left fielder Matt Koperniak each added an RBI in the win.
