MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Redbirds continued a six-game homestand with a 3-1 win over the Nashville Sounds (Triple-A, Milwaukee Brewers) on Thursday night at AutoZone Park.

Following a Nashville pitching change with two outs and a runner on in the seventh inning, Memphis manager Ben Johnson summoned slugger Luken Baker off the bench to pinch hit. The right-handed pitcher wasted no time as he smacked the first pitch 400-plus feet over the left-center field wall to break the 1-1 tie.

With the home run, Baker sits six home runs shy of tying the Memphis Redbirds franchise home run record. The blast was his 14th of the season, tied-most in the International League this season. Second baseman Cesar Prieto also homered in the game, a solo shot for his ninth of the season.

Starting pitcher Adam Kloffenstein (2-4) posted the best start of his Triple-A career on Thursday night. The right-handed hitter allowed one run on five hits, walked none and struck out a season-high tying seven batters in a Triple-A career-high 8.0 innings pitched.

The Memphis Redbirds return to AutoZone Park to continue a six-game homestand against the Nashville Sounds on Friday, May 31 with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. CDT.
