Redbirds Rally Past Round Rock

MEMPHIS, Tennessee - In the blink of an eye in the bottom of the eighth inning, the Memphis Redbirds turned a 4-1 deficit into a 5-4 lead to come from behind and top the Round Rock Express (Astros) Wednesday night at AutoZone Park.
With one out in the eighth, Max Schrock doubled ahead of Jose Martinez being hit by a pitch for Memphis (61-67). Both moved up 90 feet on a flyout to right field, and Dylan Carlson singled them in with a knock to left field to cut the Round Rock lead to 4-3.
Adolis García then stepped up and blasted a two-run home run, his 27th of the season, to put the Redbirds ahead, 5-4. Garcia entered the game in the seventh inning to replace injury-rehabbing Tyler O'Neill.
Mike Mayers came on in the top of the ninth and stranded Express (76-51) runners on second and third to finish up the Redbirds' win.
Carlson continued his tear at the Triple-A level, recording his third-straight three-hit game and sixth multi-hit game in a row. He has a hit in all seven games he has played for the Redbirds.
The No. 2 St. Louis Cardinals prospect and 51st-ranked in all of baseball is hitting .606 with a 1.537 OPS in his debut stint in Triple-A.
The comeback win is Memphis' ninth this season when trailing in the seventh inning or later and second in four days.
The Redbirds have won 10 of their last 12 games.
Memphis and Round Rock wrap up their four-game series tomorrow night at 7:05. The Redbirds conclude their regular-season home slate on Sunday.
