Kelvin Gutierrez went 2-for-4 with the night’s only home run, D.L. Hall delivered a solid-if-brief start, and the Tides inched closer to .500 with the home win over the Redbirds. Norfolk is now 15-16 for the season.
Richie Martin, Robert Neustrom and Yusniel Diaz also had two hits apiece, with Diaz and Neustrom hitting doubles along with Cadyn Grenier. Top-10 prospects Adley Rutschman and Kyle Stowers went hitless.
Hall pitched three innings in his Triple-A debut, allowed the Memphis run and struck out four while giving up two hits and two walks. His ERA is at an even 3.
