Redbirds recap: Memphis falls hard to Nashville
The Memphis Redbirds fell 17-3 to the Nashville Sounds, Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, on Saturday night at AutoZone Park.
The loss puts Memphis on the cusp of elimination heading into Sunday’s first-half-of-the-season finale. The Redbirds must beat Nashville, and Rochester must lose to Toledo for the Redbirds to win the International League first-half championship.
Right fielder Colton Ledbetter led the Memphis offense Saturday with a 3-for-3 performance at the plate. The left-handed hitter accounted for all three Redbirds runs with a home run, two runs scored, and two RBIs in the loss. Shortstop Jeremy Rivas drove in the other Memphis run in the bottom of the fifth inning.
