Memphis Redbirds News Release


MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Memphis Redbirds continued a six-game homestand against the Durham Bulls (Triple-A, Tampa Bay) with a 3-1 win on Thursday night at AutoZone Park.

Starting pitcher Quinn Mathews tossed his best start of the season in the victory. The left-handed pitcher allowed two hits, walked one and struck out nine. The nine punchouts tie a season-high mark for Mathews, who has struck out nine in consecutive starts.

Memphis was held silent at the plate until the club found itself down a run in the eighth. After a leadoff triple from right fielder Michael Siani, the Redbirds tied the game on a throwing error. Later in the inning with two outs and two on, catcher Jimmy Crooks smacked a double off the left field wall to take the lead.

Chris Roycroft (S, 5) entered with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth. The right-handed pitcher, who leads the bullpen in double-plays induced and saves, forced the first batter faced to ground into a game-ending double play.

The Memphis Redbirds return to AutoZone Park on Friday, August 8 to continue a six-game series at AutoZone Park against the Durham Bulls (Triple-A, Tampa Bay Rays) with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. CDT.
