Durham Bulls News Release
Durham, NC - Ronny Simon scored the game's only run on a wild pitch in the fifth to lift Durham past Memphis 1-0 on Thursday night at the DBAP.
Simon, who doubled to start the inning and advanced on a groundout, brazenly scored on a pitch that rolled a mere few feet from Memphis catcher Gavin Collins.
Joe Rock (W, 2-2) tossed six shutout innings, registered five strikeouts and surrendered just four hits en route to his second victory. Kyle Whitten, Enmanuel Mejia and Manuel Rodriguez (S, 2) each tossed a scoreless inning to secure the victory for Durham (20-28).
Michael McGreevy (L, 2-5) threw a complete game despite taking the loss for Memphis (25-23). McGreevy fanned a career-high 11 batters without issuing a walk.
The Bulls continue their six-game series against Memphis at 6:35 PM ET on Friday. Nathan Wiles (4-2, 6.21) is expected to start against Andre Pallante (1-0, 2.20).
