MEMPHIS, Tennessee - Ramon Urias came feet short of tying the game with a three-run home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, but the New Orleans Baby Cakes' (Marlins) Isaac Galloway make a fantastic catch at the left field wall to secure a 5-2 win over the Memphis Redbirds Wednesday night at AutoZone Park.

Memphis (42-61) put two runners on with one out in the bottom of the ninth, trailing 5-2, before a strikeout brought Urias to the dish. He worked the count full before flying out to deep left field to end the ballgame.

Adolis Garcia was 3-for-5 with an RBI for the Redbirds, and Randy Arozarena, John Nogowski, and Max Schrock had two-hit games, with Schrock's performance coming as a pinch-hitter and then defensive replacement. Schrock also stole two bases and drove in Memphis' other run in the game.

With his two singles and a hit-by-pitch, Arozarena has now reached base in 24-straight starts.

Austin Warner pitched 4.1 innings for the Redbirds, allowing four runs on eight hits with six strikeouts and four walks, and the Redbirds bullpen of Kodi Whitley, Seth Elledge, and Jesus Cruz gave up just one New Orleans (54-48) run in the last 4.2 frames. Elledge fired 2.0 perfect innings in the seventh and eighth with two strikeouts.

Memphis had its chances in the game with 11 hits, but the club was 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left 13 on base, including at least one in each of its last six at-bats.

The Redbirds and New Orleans finish their series tomorrow night at 7:05, before Memphis goes on the road for three games at Oklahoma City. The Redbirds are back at AutoZone Park on Tuesday.
