Redbirds Downed at San Antonio, 9-3

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Rangel Ravelo extended his hitting streak to 14 games and Andrew Knizner homered, but the Memphis Redbirds (21-22) fell victim to a San Antonio Missions (Brewers) hit parade in a 9-3 loss Sunday afternoon in San Antonio, Texas.
Ravelo drove in a run with a seventh-inning single to move his streak to 14-straight games. He is hitting .490 (25-51) during the stretch. Ramón Urías had an RBI double in the fifth inning and Knizner's fifth home run of the year in the ninth accounted for the rest of Memphis' scoring.
Jake Woodford started for Memphis and gave up five runs on seven hits in 5.0 innings. He walked four and struck out three. Tommy Layne gave up four runs and six hits in 2.0 innings of relief, and Chris Beck gave up two hits but no runs in an inning of work.
Defensively, Adolis García and Drew Robinson both erased runners trying to score with outfield assists at the plate.
The Redbirds struck out 12 times in the game after fanning eight times the night before and 15 times the game before that.
The Missions (26-17) had 15 hits on the day.
The series between Memphis and San Antonio finishes tomorrow at 11:05 a.m. The Redbirds then head to Nashville until the end of the week. Memphis is back at AutoZone Park on Saturday.
