Redbirds come back late to edge Sounds

put Breyvic Valera in position to score the winner on a throwing error on the play. Matt Williams also homered, his first at the Triple-A level in 166 games between last season and this season.

Matt Adams hit a tworun homer in the first inning for Memphis in his first game on an injury rehab assignment from the St. Louis Cardinals.

Valera was on base three times and scored twice, and Efren Navarro had three singles. David Washington was also on base three times with a double, a walk and a hit-by-pitch.

In addition to the three home runs, Memphis had two doubles and two triples. The 28 total bases are a season high, and the seven extra-base hits tied a season best.

Thomas Lee pitched 2⅓ perfect innings to finish the game for the Redbirds and set up the comeback, retiring all seven Sounds he faced. Jeremy Hefner struck out six in five innings to start the night. He left with a 3-2 lead, before the Sounds scored four runs in their next two times at bat.

The game was delayed for 14 minutes at the start because of a rainstorm earlier in the day.

The Redbirds’ final regular-season homestand continues with a 6:35 game tonight, featuring postgame fireworks, Memphis Chicks Night with a replica jersey giveaway, Teacher Appreciation Night theme ticket, and an auction of Chicksthemed jerseys.
