BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Biscuits (20-25) beat the Birmingham Barons (19-25) for a fourth-straight night, defeating their interstate rivals in the series finale, 7-3, on Monday night at Regions Field. The Biscuits have now won a season-high four-consecutive games and five of their last six, leapfrogging the Barons into fourth place in the North Division.
It was a bullpen day for the Butter and Blue so Roel Ramirez made his first Double-A spot start and allowed a first inning home run to baseball's number four prospect Eloy Jiménez that put Birmingham up 1-0 early.
Barons starter Ian Clarkin (3-5) held the Biscuits scoreless through the first two frames, before nine batters came to the plate in the third. Brandon Lowe tied the game at one with a RBI-single, and Brett Sullivan, who finished the series 10-for-15, added one of his own in the subsequent at-bat to put the Biscuits in front for good at 2-1. Ryan Boldt was up next, and the center fielder knocked in two with a single to finish of the four-spot inning.
Michael Russell, who recorded the Southern League's first five-hit game of the season on Sunday, collected an RBI-single in the fourth to make it 5-1 Montgomery, as reliever Matt Krook (1-1) took the reins from Ramirez and proceeded to strike out a team reliever season-high seven batters in three scoreless innings.
Trey Michalczewski pulled a couple runs back for Birmingham in the sixth with a two-run triple off Travis Ott to make it 5-3, but Boldt extended the Biscuit lead back to four with a two-run double in the seventh. Dalton Moats worked the final two scoreless innings, as Biscuits pitchers matched a season high with a combined 15 strikeouts in the victory.
The Biscuits will have an off day on Tuesday, but will then head to Chattanooga on Wednesday when J.D. Martin (2-6) will be on the hill against the Lookouts at 6:15 PM CT.
The Biscuits will continue their current 10-game road trip until they return home to Montgomery on May 29 when the Jackson Generals will be in town for Wings Fest and the Gathering of Eagles Celebration. The series will also feature Country Music Night featuring a T-Shirt Giveaway presented by WLWI on Thursday, May 31, Gump in the Gump featuring Greenbow Biscuits Jersey Auction and MAX Fireworks on Friday, June 1, and Flight Night featuring a C-130 Figurine Giveaway presented by AUM and MAX Fireworks on Saturday, June 2.
