Starting pitcher Curtis Taylor (5-3) continued the Memphis pitching dominance through Thursday night. The right-handed pitcher tossed 7.0 shutout innings in the win. Taylor struck out seven, walked none and allowed two hits. Gordon Graceffo and Ryan Fernandez tossed scoreless innings out of the bullpen to finish off the Redbirds second straight shutout of the Stripers.
Memphis starting pitching has combined for 15.0 scoreless innings over the last two starts. Taylor faced just one batter more than the minimum in his Thursday start one night after Aaron Wilkerson allowed just four baserunners in 8.0 innings pitched.
