MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Redbirds continued a 13-game homestand and a seven-game series with a 6-1 win over the Gwinnett Stripers (Triple-A, Atlanta Braves) on Saturday night at AutoZone Park.
First baseman Luken Baker became the first Memphis batter with a multi-homer game with a solo shot in the fourth and a two-run homer in the sixth. Baker’s home run in the fourth inning was the second end of back-to-back home runs following a shortstop Jose Fermin home run. Baker now has 11 home runs this season and is 10 home runs shy of breaking the Memphis Redbirds career home run record.
