MEMPHIS, TN - The Memphis Redbirds continued a six-game road trip with an 9-4 win over the Durham Bulls at Durham Bulls Athletic Park on Wednesday night.

With five runs in the top of the first inning and two more in the second, Memphis gave starting pitcher Drew Rom (8-6) plenty of run support in his St. Louis Cardinals organizational debut. The left-handed pitcher tossed 5.0 innings, allowed one earned run on one hit, struck out 10 and walked two.

At the plate, five Redbirds batters recorded two hits in the game. First baseman Luken Baker led the way with a 2-for-4 night with a home run, five RBI and a walk. Left fielder Juan Yepez and third baseman Nick Dunn each drove in a pair of runs.

Seven of the nine Memphis hitters recorded at least one base hit while eight batters reached base safely. With the win, Memphis returns to a .500 record on the 2023 season and even up the series at 1-1.

The Redbirds (55-55) return to AutoZone Park on Tuesday, August 15 to begin a six-game homestand at 2:05p.m. CDT against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.
