Redbirds recap: Memphis shut out by Louisville to even series Friday night
The Memphis Redbirds continued a six-game homestand with a 6-0 loss to the Louisville Bats (Triple-A, Cincinnati Reds) on Friday night at AutoZone Park.
Starting pitcher Bruce Zimmermann (4-3) dominated through the first five innings and worked scoreless until the sixth. The left-handed pitcher worked 5.2 innings, allowed three runs on six hits, walked one and struck out four. Zimmermann moved his strikeout tally pushed him into the International League lead with 71 on the season. Skylar Hales and Luis Gastelum each posted a scoreless inning of work with two strikeouts out of the bullpen.
First baseman Bligh Madris led the way offensively and accounted for two of the three Memphis hits on the night. The utility man added a highlight reel diving snag to rob Louisville’s Héctor Rodriguez of a single in the top of the eighth inning.
