Chase Davis hits first Triple-A homer in Redbirds’ 13-4 loss to Iowa
Chase Davis launched his first Triple-A homer, but Memphis still closed a nine-game homestand with a 13-4 loss to Iowa at AutoZone Park.
Chase Davis gave the Redbirds one clean swing to remember, but Memphis still walked off its nine-game homestand with a 13-4 loss to the Iowa Cubs on Sunday afternoon at AutoZone Park. The defeat ended a three-game series on a rough note and left the Redbirds carrying the damage from back-to-back losses after dropping Saturday night’s game 5-4 in extra innings.
Davis supplied the clearest highlight for Memphis, driving a solo shot to right-center field for his first Triple-A home run. It was a meaningful milestone for the outfielder, who had moved up from Double-A Springfield after completing a minor league rehab stint, and it gave the Redbirds at least one development win in a game Iowa controlled.
The final score told the rest of the story. Iowa, which entered at 41-52, beat Memphis, listed at 55-41, and wrapped up the season series over the Redbirds. A 13-4 loss after an extra-inning defeat the night before meant Memphis gave up 18 runs across the last two games of the homestand, a heavy load for any pitching staff to absorb over two days.
Memphis still had Davis’ homer to take out of the series, but little else went the Redbirds’ way. Iowa left Memphis with the bigger result and the cleaner series finish, while the Redbirds headed into their next set trying to stop a slide before a bad weekend turns into something bigger.
