The Memphis Redbirds got three solo home runs on Tuesday, and that was all it took to take their sixth consecutive game from the New Orleans Zephyrs. Nick Stavinoha continued to swing a hot bat by hitting two home runs, and Cody Haerther added a solo shot of his own as the Redbirds beat the Zephyrs on Tuesday, 3-1.

Stavinoha added a single for a 3-for-4 game, one night after going 4-for-6. The LSU product upped his batting average to .359, good for third in the PCL.

Nelson Figueroa (3-3) gave up the three homers, but only two other hits in his seven innings of work. He struck out six and walked two in taking the loss.

Memphis starter Mitchell Boggs, in his first start for the Redbirds since June 2, yielded just one run on four hits in six innings to improve to 6-1.

The third game of the series is Wednesday at 7:00 p.m., with RHP Claudio Vargas facing RHP Clayton Mortensen.
