ROUND ROCK, Texas - For the second night in a row, the Memphis Redbirds (26-21) held the Round Rock Express (25-24) scoreless in a 4-0 final Saturday night.

The Redbirds got on the board early, posting a run in the bottom of the first on Express starter Colby Lewis. They tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the second after Lewis issued a walk to catcher Rob Johnson. Justin Christian singled to put runners on first and second with one out. Center fielder Adron Chambers blasted a triple to plate both runners and give Memphis a 3-0 advantage.

Lewis was pulled after the fourth inning, going 4.0 innings, allowing three earned runs on six hits. He threw 60 total pitches in his second rehab stint with the E-Train.

Memphis starter Boone Whiting held Round Rock's offense to just three hits in his 6.0 innings of work. The only time the E-Train threatened to score was in the fifth inning. Yangervis Solarte hit a lead-off single and two batters later advanced to third on a single from Jim Adduci. Engel Beltre hit into an unassisted double play to end the inning and strand both runners.

The Redbirds added one more run in the fifth, off Express reliever Jake Brigham. The righty gave up back-to-back walks before first baseman Brock Peterson hit a single to plate a runner and give Memphis the 4-0 final.

Brigham closed out the game for the Express, going the final 4.0 innings giving up just one run on two hits. Solarte went 3-4 at the plate as the E-Train's lone batter with multiple hits.

Memphis has now held Round Rock scoreless through 18.0 innings this season.

The Express and Redbirds go head-to-head again tomorrow with game three of four at Memphis before heading to New Orleans for four games against the Zephyrs. For more information on the Express, visit www.RoundRockExpress.com or call (512) 255-2255. Keep up with the Express on Facebook and Twitter!
