Memphis Redbirds News Release


TACOMA, Washington - The Memphis Redbirds (24-35) jumped on the Tacoma Rainiers (Mariners) early and often Tuesday night in Tacoma, Wash., and captured a 9-3 win in the series opener.

Jake Woodford fired 7.0 strong innings in the win, allowing just two runs on five hits. He struck out six and walked one.

On the offensive side, Adolis Garcia homered and was 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI, and two runs scored, and Rangel Ravelo also went deep for the Redbirds. Ramon Urias doubled twice and was one of four Redbirds to notch two-hit games to help Memphis' 13-hit attack.

The Redbirds scored four times in the top of the first and did not look back, as Tyler O'Neill doubled home a run, Garcia doubled home two, and Lane Thomas singled home a tally to open the scoring.

After Tacoma (29-30) scored two in the bottom of the first, Memphis plated two in both the top of the third and the top of the seventh to open an 8-2 lead. An eighth-inning run then made it 9-2 for Memphis. The Redbirds' third-inning runs came on Ravelo's seventh home run of the season and Garcia's 13th.

Woodford retired eight-straight Rainiers from the end of the second through the beginning of the fifth, and he ended his outing facing the minimum in the sixth and seventh innings after a pair of double plays.

Dominic Leone and Tommy Layne tossed the final two innings for Memphis and allowed only one run.

Garcia also stole his third base of the season in the victory.

The Redbirds turned four double plays Tuesday night.

The win ended Memphis' 12-game losing streak.

The Redbirds and Rainiers continue their series tomorrow night at 8:05 (CT). After two more games in Tacoma and four in Reno, Memphis' next home game is Wednesday, June 12.
