MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Redbirds continued a six-game homestand with a 6-1 win over the Nashville Sounds on Thursday night at AutoZone Park.

Memphis starting pitcher Michael McGreevy (1-1) provided the best start for the club of 2024. The right-handed pitcher tossed 6.2 innings of shutout baseball, allowed four hits, walked one and struck out four. The start is the longest by a Redbird this season and the first scoreless.

In the bottom of the fifth, Memphis was able to pad the lead. With nobody out, second baseman Thomas Saggese smacked a sacrifice fly to center to make the score 4-0. One batter later, third baseman Cesar Prieto smacked his team-leading fourth home run to put the Redbirds up by six.
