MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Redbirds continued a three-game road trip with a 7-4 win over the Nashville Sounds (Triple-A, Milwaukee Brewers) on Friday night at First Horizon Park.

With Memphis trailing 4-0 and two outs in the fifth, MLB Rehabbing designated hitter Ivan Herrera smacked a three-run homer to get the Redbirds on the board. To lead off the next inning, first baseman Luken Baker crushed his second home run in as many days to tie the game. Baker extended his league-leading home run and RBI totals to 25 and 61 respectively.

Starting pitcher Ian Bedell (1-0) allowed four runs on two hits, walked four and struck out two in 6.0 innings pitched to earn his first career Triple-A win. His only runs allowed scored on a two-out grand slam in the first inning after Bedell walked the bases loaded. Nick Robertson (S, 1) tossed a 1-2-3 ninth inning to get his first save with Memphis.

The Memphis Redbirds return to AutoZone Park to begin a six-game homestand against the Norfolk Tides on Tuesday, July 9 with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. CDT.
