NASHVILLE, Tennessee - Wilfredo Tovar had a two-run double in the top of the sixth, and Jake Woodford, Tommy Layne, and Edward Mujica held the Nashville Sounds (Athletics) to four singles in a 2-1 win for the division-champion Memphis Redbirds (83-56) Sunday night in Nashville, Tenn.
The game was scoreless until Ramon Urias doubled in the sixth, and after Tommy Edman drew a walk Tovar doubled them home in what proved to be Memphis' only scoring for the night.
Woodford was solid in 6.0 innings of work, allowing one run on three hits with three strikeouts and a trio of walks. His outing was scoreless until he left the game after pitching to two batters in the bottom of the seventh, with the Sounds plating a run off reliever Layne.
