Sellout Crowd Celebrates Independence Day at AutoZone Park
July 3, 2019 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Memphis Redbirds News Release
MEMPHIS, Tennessee - A sellout crowd of 10,076 saw Randy Arozarena and Max Schrock each have three-hit games and Schrock reach base five times, but the Memphis Redbirds lost the series finale to the New Orleans Baby Cakes (Marlins) Wednesday night at AutoZone Park, 4-3.
Arozarena is now on an eight-game hitting streak for Memphis, which includes five games of three hits or more. He is hitting .588 during the stretch (20-34). Schrock was on base all five times he came to the plate with a double, two singles, a fielder's choice, and by reaching on an error.
The Redbirds (35-51) led 3-0 before New Orleans (47-39) tied the game with three runs in the top of the fourth. The Baby Cakes got the go-ahead run in the fifth, and the Redbirds had the potential tying run on base in each of their final five at-bats but could not push a fourth run across the dish.
Jake Woodford started for Memphis and allowed four runs on four hits in 5.0 innings. He walked five, which elevated his pitch count, and struck out four. He was hampered by two New Orleans home runs.
Chris Ellis, Chasen Shreve, and Chris Beck tossed the final 4.0 innings in scoreless fashion for Memphis.
Along with Arozarena's and Schrock's multi-hit games, John Nogowski was 2-for-3 with an RBI double. Adolis Garcia tripled for the fourth time this season.
The Redbirds now head to Iowa to face the Cubs for four games before the All-Star Break. The Redbirds return home next Thursday, July 11, to start a four-game series with the Oklahoma City Dodgers (Dodgers).
