Chadwick Tromp tied the game at two with a base hit in the top of the sixth, but Memphis hung six runs on Norfolk in the bottom half. Roansy Contreras turned in a solid start with only two unearned runs allowed in four innings. Corbin Martin delivered a scoreless fifth, but things fell apart in a hurry.
Struggling reliever Cionel Pérez allowed a single and walked three batters before being chased from the game. Levi Stoudt entered and allowed a three-run homer to run up Pérez’s stat line and put the game out of reach.
Dylan Beavers continued his hot streak with a 2-for-4 effort that included a home run.
