MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Redbirds continued a six-game homestand against the Durham Bulls (Triple-A, Tampa Bay) with a 4-0 loss on Friday night at AutoZone Park.

The right-handed pitcher tossed 6.0 shutout innings, allowed three hits, walked two and struck out three in his fourth start with Memphis. Osvaldo Berrios pitched a perfect ninth in his second Redbirds appearance.

Shortstop Cesar Prieto went 2-for-3 in the loss. With a single to lead off the third inning, the left-handed hitter reached 100 hits on the season, the first Memphis hitter to reach that mark in 2025. Left fielder Jose Fermin and right fielder Matt Koperniak slapped the other two Redbirds hits. Fermin reached twice in four plate appearances with a walk.
