1 Game Information Memphis Redbirds Media Relations Department 200 Union Avenue Memphis, Tennessee Phone: Memphis Redbirds (50-55) vs. Round Rock Express (50-57) Saturday, July 30 7:05 p.m. (CT) Dell Diamond (8,722) Round Rock, Texas Game #106 Road Game #53 (18-32) RHP Deck McGuire (6-8, 5.09) vs RHP Austin Bibens-Dirkx (0-1, 3.74) THE GAME TODAY S GAME: After splitting an eight-game homestand with Iowa and Oklahoma City, the Memphis Redbirds venture to Texas for a four-game series against the Round Rock Express (Triple-A Rangers). The Redbirds played doubleheaders in both of the last two series and swept the one against Iowa and split the one against Oklahoma City. This is Memphis first trip to Dell Diamond this season, and the two will play eight times in Texas in the final 38 days of the season, including the final series of the year. Memphis leads the series with Round Rock so far this season, including a four-game sweep at AutoZone Park July 7-10, 5-3. The Redbirds are against fellow members of the American Southern Division, which is the only division they have a winning record against this season. Today s game will be broadcast live on Sports56 and 87.7 FM and internet webcast at MemphisRedbirds.com, with Steve Selby on the call. ON THE HILL: Deck McGuire starts for the 21st time this season in search for his first victory since June 17 against Iowa. Since a five-game winning streak May 26-June 17 in which he allowed a total of eight earned runs in 33.0 innings (2.18 ERA), McGuire is 0-2 with a 8.97 ERA in his last six starts (26 ER/26.1 IP). Despite his last start being a no decision, however, McGuire gave up just one run on five hits in 5.0 innings in game one of a doubleheader against Iowa. McGuire has allowed a PCL-high 17 home runs this season, including seven on his six-start winless streak, after giving up one during his five-game winning streak. Today s starter for Round Rock, Austin Bibens-Dirkx, matched up with Memphis and Jerome Williams on July 8 at AutoZone Park. Bibens-Dirkx fanned seven in 6.0 innings, and he gave up two runs and five hits in a no decision. Memphis defeated the Express that day, 3-2 with the go-ahead run coming in the bottom of the eighth. The Rangers signed Bibens-Dirkx in mid-june, and he is now with his sixth professional team. Today s game will be the 304th appearance of his minor league career, and entering this season he had a 4.04 lifetime ERA and a record. THIS DATE IN REDBIRDS HISTORY: In 1999, Keith McDonald hit a grand slam in the fifth inning off Nashville s Kane Davis, which was the team-record eighth grand slam hit by a Redbird that season. In 2006, Mike Rose and Bo Hart hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the 16th inning to beat Colorado Springs, 9-8, at AutoZone Park. SCHEDULE WITH ROUND ROCK: Memphis and Round Rock are scheduled to play 16 times on the season, with the first eight played in Memphis and the final eight, including the last series of the year, played in Round Rock. The Express won 10 of the 16 matchups between the two clubs last season. Memphis swept Round Rock lead up to the All-Star Break for its first in a four-game series since June 2-5, 2015 against Las Vegas.

2 Navarro was signed as a free agent on July 8 after playing most of the season in Tacoma. ROLLING AT AUTOZONE PARK: The Redbirds won eight-straight games at AutoZone Park from the final of the series with Nashville July 6 through the third game of the series with Iowa July 24, which was its longest streak at home since winning nine-straight from Aug , IN HINDSIGHT, WE DECLINE THE ALL-STAR BREAK: In a tale of how time off, even in a 144-game baseball season, could be a detriment to momentum, the Memphis Redbirds lost the first six games after the All-Star Break after entering the break on a seasonlong five-game winning streak and above.500 at for the first time since they were 7-6. Memphis was outscored in the first six games after the break, following a run advantage in the five preceding games. The Redbirds finished the road trip 1-7, which is tied for the second-worst road swing in franchise history. WELCOME TO MEMPHIS: Of the 52 players who have played for Memphis so far in 2016, 19 were making their Triple-A debut including nine pitchers and four catchers. Two of the most recent additions, Carson Kelly and Harrison Bader, are rated as the 10th-best and 15th-best prospects in the Cardinals organization, respectively, by Baseball America. BADER BARELY NEEDS A YEAR: In just 383 days from his College World Series finale with the Florida Gators on June 20, 2015, Harrison Bader made it to Triple-A when he debuted with a 1-5 showing and a double and a run on July 6. REYES SERVES AS THE FUTURE : Redbirds starting pitcher Alex Reyes was chosen to represent the World Team in the MLB Futures Game in San Diego, and he struck out four in 1.2 innings as the team s starting pitcher. An undrafted free agent, Reyes is in his fourth season as part of the Cardinals organization and first at the Triple-A level after moving to the Dominican Republic while in high school to live with his grandmother. SHERRIFF ADDED TO TRIPLE-A ALL-STAR GAME: Redbirds relief pitcher Ryan Sherriff was chosen to replace Sam Tuivailala on the Pacific Coast League roster for the Triple-A All-Star Game July 13 in Charlotte after Tuivailala was recalled by St. Louis. In 42.1 innings pitched out of the bullpen at the time of his selection, Sherriff had a 2.13 ERA and a 3-0 record. He ranked fifth in the PCL in both lowest batting average-against (.196) and fewest baserunners allowed per nine innings (9.8). Sherriff started the eighth inning and retired the only hitter he faced, while Redbirds manager Mike Shildt, a Charlotte native, served as a coach for the PCL All-Stars. TUIVAILALA NAMED TRIPLE-A ALL-STAR: Redbirds pitcher Sam Tuivailala was selected to the 2016 Triple-A All-Star Game but did not pitch due to his promotion to St. Louis. At the time of the selection, Tuivailala was tied for fourth in the PCL with 12 saves, and his 13.6 K/9 IP ratio was second in the league. In 28 appearances covering 31.0 innings, Tuivailala struck out 47 and walked 15, and he was limiting opponents to a.231 batting average. Tuivailala was also named a PCL All-Star in 2015, but he did not pitch in that game, either, due to a promotion to St. Louis. MEMPHIS A REMEDY FOR STRUGGLES: Kolten Wong, Jeremy Hazelbaker and Randal Grichuk were all optioned to Memphis from St. Louis at one point in June to work on various aspects of their games, and the results were instantaneous in all cases. Wong hit two home runs in his first game and hit.429 with four home runs, 11 RBI and a OPS in seven games (June 9-16), Hazelbaker had three multi-hit games, including two three-hit performances, in his first three full games, and Grichuk homered in his first game and drove in seven runs in his first three starts. REDBIRDS SEE MAJOR LEAGUE EXPERIENCE RISE: Prior to May 19, when Tommy Pham was optioned to Memphis, the Redbirds had six players on their roster with a combined 293 major league games (1.8 seasons). From May 19 through June 18, when Randal Grichuk followed Jeremy Hazelbaker in being optioned to Memphis, the Redbirds saw players with a combined 1,209 big league games (7.5 seasons) spend time in The Bluff City (Pham, Kolten Wong, Michael McKenry, Jerome Williams, Hazelbaker, Grichuk). HAZELBAKER, GRICHUK ADDED TO MEMPHIS OF: Jeremy Hazelbaker and Randal Grichuk were optioned to Memphis on June 17 and 18, respectively, after playing the entire season in St. Louis. Hazelbaker hit.333 with 10 home runs and 46 RBI in 58 games in Memphis last season, and Grichuk most recently played in Memphis in 2014, where he hit 25 home runs in just 108 games. WONG WOWS IN WEEK IN MEMPHIS: Kolten Wong made quite the impact in seven games in Memphis after being optioned from St. Louis on June 7, hitting.429 (12-28) with four home runs, 10 runs scored, 11 RBI, a triple and four walks, for a.529 on base percentage and a.929 slugging percentage. He also played three games at center field, and he threw out a runner at the plate in his 17th inning played at the position since his freshman year of college. In his very first game, he opened the game with a home run and hit a walk-off grand slam, and he also had a twohomer game at Nashville on June 14. He was recalled by St. Louis June 17. BACK-TO-BACK BLANKINGS: With a 2-0 win on June 11 and a 5-0 victory on June 12, Memphis strung together back-to-back shutout wins for the first time since May 24-25, 2013 against Round Rock. The Redbirds allowed just eight hits in the two games, which included Jerome Williams first complete game since 2012 and the fewest hits allowed (2) when coupled with innings pitched (8.0) in Deck Mc- Guire s professional career. WASHINGTON REWARDED FOR MAY: David Washington was named the St. Louis Cardinals Minor League Player of the Month for May after hitting.287 (29-101) with 11 home runs, which co-lead all of minor league baseball during the month, and 25 RBI in 29 games between Double-A Springfield and Memphis. Washington hit.309 with nine home runs and 21 runs batted in over 24 games after arriving in Memphis from Springfield on May 5. He also had a 12-game hitting streak from May 8-21, which was the second-longest active streak in the Pacific Coast League at the time it was snapped. TOP PROSPECT ALEX REYES DEBUTS: Alex Reyes, the top-ranked prospect in the St. Louis Cardinals organization and seventh-ranked in all of Major League Baseball, pitched four innings and struck out eight in his season and Triple-A debut May 22. Reyes gave up two hits and walked three in his four innings of work in his first outing following a 50-game suspension. He allowed baserunners in each of the first three innings, including loading the bases in the second, but he struck out the final batter of the inning each time to escape without allowing a run. His eight strikeouts matched Arturo Reyes for the most by a Redbird starter in a game this season. Reyes threw 85 pitches and 48 for strikes. WASHINGTON S DOZEN: David Washington had a 12-game hitting streak from May 8-21, which covered his first 14 games played at the Triple-A level. He hit.340 with four home runs during the streak (17-50), which was the second-longest active streak in the PCL at the time it ended and the longest by a Redbird this season. TILSON HITS IN 10-STRAIGHT: Charlie Tilson had a 10-game hitting streak from April 20-May 4, the longest by a Redbird since Greg Garcia s 10-gamer from June 1-11, The Triple-A rookie hit.333 (14-42) during the streak, which was the secondlongest active streak in the league at the time it was snapped on May 4 against Omaha. EXTRA-BASE STRETCH: Memphis had at least one extra-base hit in the first 17 games of the season, until only having five singles in the series finale against Round Rock on April 26. Only Round Rock and Sacramento had equal streaks at the time Memphis ended. The Redbirds then had an extra-base hit in 26-straight games from May 8-June 3 before going without one in back-to-back games June 4 and 5. JEREMY HEFNER RETURNS: In his first appearance since August 6, 2014, after a second Tommy John surgery required him to miss the 2015 season, Jeremy Hefner allowed just one hit in 5.0 innings of work for his first outing of at least five innings and only one hit in his last 88 starts. OFFSEASON OWNERSHIP CHANGE: This spring, principal ownership of the Memphis Redbirds changed from the St. Louis Cardinals to Peter B. Freund. Freund is President of Trinity Packaging Corporation and Trinity Baseball Holdings. Trinity Baseball Holdings also owns the Charleston RiverDogs and the Williamsport Crosscutters. The Cardinals remain a minority owner in the Redbirds. As part of the move, third-year Redbirds General Manager Craig Unger was promoted to President and General Manager. COACHING STAFF: Manager Mike Shildt is in his second season at the helm in the Bluff City and is joined on the Memphis bench by returning pitching coach and former Redbirds pitcher Bryan Eversgerd (4th season), hitting coach Mark Budaska (9th season), coach Robby Hisert, athletic trainer Rafael Freitas, and strength coach Kevin Hyde (2nd season). In Shildt s first season, the team went and finished second in the PCL American Southern.
