In the bottom of the ninth, Memphis was able to bring the winning run to the plate but was unable to score.

The Memphis Redbirds return to AutoZone Park to continue a 13-game homestand and continue a seven-game series against the Gwinnett Stripers on Thursday, May 15 with first pitch scheduled for 11:05 a.m. CDT.
