Redbirds recap: Memphis snaps losing streak with win against Jacksonville
The Memphis Rebirds snapped a three-game losing streak with a 7-5 win against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, the Triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins, on Friday night at AutoZone Park.
Third baseman Ramon Mendoza opened the bottom of the eighth inning with a game-winning solo home run, his fourth blast this season. On the next pitch, pinch hitter Joshua Báez delivered his second homer in as many days to cap the scoring.
Báez has been involved in all three back-to-back home run situations this season for the Redbirds, who dropped the first three outings of their six-game home series with the Jumbo Shrimp.
