Memphis scored five in the second inning and six in the fourth to set the tone for a 13-7 win, and the Redbirds have not lost a series opener since June 4 at Iowa. Jacob Wilson, Mike Ohlman and David Washington all homered for Memphis last night, which matched a single-game season high. 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: Jerome Williams heads to the mound for the seventh time this season after absorbing a loss at Omaha Sunday in his last outing. Williams took the ball for a depleted Redbirds staff and pitched all 6.0 innings in the first game of a doubleheader and gave up eight runs on 12 hits. The eight runs matched his total surrendered in his previous four starts combined. Williams has pitched better at AutoZone Park this season, where he has a 1.80 ERA in two previous starts, one of which was a complete game fivehitter on June 11 against Colorado Springs. Williams is 2-2 with a 6.35 ERA in four starts away from home this season. The Redbirds are scheduled to face Round Rock s Austin Bibens-Dirkx, who is starting for the fifth time this season and is allowing opponents to hit just.170 against him. The Ranger signed him in mid-june, and he is now with his sixth professional team. Today s game will be the 300th 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 2010, four Memphis pitchers outdueled Nashville for a 3-0 win at AutoZone Park. Chuckie Fick threw 5.0 innings and allowed four hits. Relievers Rich Rundles, Josh Kinney and Fernando Salas allowed only one baserunner, which was a hit-by-pitch by Rundles in the sixth, and struck out six in 4.0 innings to finish the shutout. SCHEDULE WITH ROUND ROCK: Memphis and Round Rock are scheduled to play 16 times on the season, with the first eight coming in Memphis and the final eight, including the last series of the year, being played in Round Rock. The Express won 10 of the 16 matchups between the two clubs last season.

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 this season, Sherriff has a 2.13 ERA and a 3-0 record. He ranks fifth in the PCL in both lowest batting average-against (.196) and fewest baserunners allowed per nine innings (9.8).

2 TUIVAILALA NAMED TRIPLE-A ALL-STAR: Redbirds pitcher Sam Tuivailala was selected to the 2016 Triple- A All-Star Game alongside other Pacific Coast League stars in Charlotte July 13. 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 had 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 due to a promotion to St. Louis. He was recalled by St. Louis on July 1 this season and will again not pitch in the game. 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. JEROME WILLIAMS WIPES OUT THE SKY SOX: In his second start with the Redbirds on June 11 against Colorado Springs, Jerome Williams threw a complete game, five-hit shutout in a 2-0 Memphis victory. The 17-year veteran needed just 105 pitches to finish his first complete game since May 1, 2012, when he threw a complete game, three-hit shutout with the Los Angeles Angels against the Minnesota Twins. It was the first complete game shutout by a Redbird since Tim Cooney on June 2, 2015 against Las Vegas. At one point from the end of the third through two outs in the eighth, Williams retired 15-straight Colorado Springs hitters. He finished the game setting down 19 of the final 21 Sky Sox he faced. 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. KIEKHEFER GETS THE CALL: Left-hander Dean Kiekhefer was recalled by St. Louis on May 14 after making 11 appearances and pitching 13.1 innings with 12 hits and two runs allowed for the Redbirds to start the season. Lefties were hitting just.105 against him, and at the time of his call-up he was one of two relief pitchers in the PCL not to issue a walk. He was optioned to Memphis June 19. 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.
